Last week, I traveled with one of my best friends, @michaelmacko, to #Hawaii, to celebrate his birthday. Having never traveled to our 50th state before, I wasn't really sure what to expect from the food scene there. Upon my arrival, I was pleasantly surprised to discover a thriving culinary community, deeply rooted in local ingredients, drawing inspiration from all of the various cultures that contribute to the Hawaii we know today. I had my hands full keeping up with my regular Instagram account (@bkmck) while I was there, so decided to hold off on updating this account with all my #foodventures until my return. So, without further ado, here is a first glimpse at one of the many incredible meals that contributed to my noticeable weight gain over the course of my trip. #๐ด๐๐ด Seen: from Heavenly Island Lifestyle in Waikiki, Eggs Benedict with locally farmed eggs, local shinsato #porkbelly, a kale and Okinawan purple potato salad, and a Wailua pineapple soda. #godblessbrunch #eatlocal #bkmckeatshawaii #๐ @heavenlywaikiki (at HEAVENLY)
