Hawaii Food & Wine in Paradise was last week, and I was lucky enough to attend Kapolei Uncorked at the last minute (I had to change plans for a birthday trip to a new Korean Spa with my friend Mary, but she came with me, so it all worked out). The dinner was about 8 courses from some of Hawaii's most innovative chefs, and the dish pictured above was my favorite. Kona lobster tail and squid ink pasta with locally grown long beans in a light cream sauce. Even the shiso on the plate didn't bother me, and I really don't like that stuff.
