It was a big weekend for Makaha Mangoes, who hosted its fourth annual Mangoes at the Moana on Saturday at the Moana Surfrider in Waikiki. 

While enjoying all that the mango has to offer, I shot this video of Mark Suiso of Makaha Mangoes talking to Dan Cooke about the characteristics of his favorite mangoes.

Chef Ming Tsai will be participating in two events at this September's Hawai'i Food & Wine Festival. The first will be the opening night event, Enter the MODERN Dragon: Morimoto & Friends, held on Sept. 6 at The Modern Honolulu, where he'll  be serving foie gras fried rice with tuna sashimi.

One of the many perks of writing this blog has been that over the past few weeks, I've had the opportunity to talk with chefs who will be participating in this year's Hawai'i Food & Wine festival.

Just like last year, the 2012 chefs are diverse and talented. Leading up to the September event, I'll be introducing you to the chefs and giving you a peek at the dishes they'll be preparing and some insight on the ingredients they'll be using.

Happy Fourth of July from the Hawai'i Food & Wine Festival. To commemorate the birth of our nation, here's video from the fireworks show that closed out last year's Mauka to Makai event held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Grand Lawn.
