HULA  Barbecue Time!
  Let's Eat!


The plantation workers used to take old, empty 55 gallon drums and make barbecue grills.  Almost all the families had them. Back then, they didn't think about the fact that the drums were once filled with DDT which was used to as a pesticide for the sugar crops. 

Our family was lucky, dad knew how to weld and he fabricated ours out of stainless steel.  It was awesome compared to the other families grills made from the DDT drums.

Fast forward 50+ years and here I am, grilling for our customers.  We have a small 3' charbroiler that is going all day long. We're often amazed at how much food we provide out of our little restaurant.

Have fun grilling over the summer - grab some of our Pulehu Salt Seasoning to add some " Kilohana" to your next barbecue!

Aloha, Myron  
HAWAIIAN WORD OF THE MONTH 

PULEHU (POO LAY WHO)

PLACE OF INTEREST:  SALT PONDS - KAUAI
HULA
You may be able to catch a glimpse of days gone by at the ancient Hawaiian salt ponds near Hanapepe. The art of salt-making in earthen pans is still practiced here by families descending from ancient saltmakers, and is a reminder of the rich Hawaiian culture of the island. Enter the salt-making area only if permission is granted by saltmakers.

We use Hawaiian Sea Salts in our blend of spices.
Kilohana Trivia

   Ono-licious Burgers!

We started serving sandwiches and burgers about a year ago and our customers like having a choice between a plate lunch with rice or having a sandwich.

We're const
antly looking to improve the value in our products and have recently switched to using 100% Premium Black Angus Beef burger patties.  It's still 1/3 of a pound serving.  Try the Hawaiian favorite - Loco Moco, it's two scoops of rice topped with a hamburger patty that's topped with two fried eggs and the whole thing is SMOTHERED in brown gravy - YUM!  It's a surfer's favorite after a long day of being in the water. 

We serve our delicious Island Burger (recipe furnished in this issue), Cheeseburgers, regular burgers, Loco Moco's and Hamburger Steak with mushrooms and onions.

We estimate we use over 2,500 burger patties throughout the year.
