Great balls of fire, it’s #TopChef finalist Dale Levitski! He’s in town helping @hankshautedogs create their new Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich— the #hotchicken trend is on fire right now, so of course it did so well in its debut weekend that Hank is keeping it on the menu. It’s crunchy, hot, and a solid medium spicy that requires pineapple ice on the side. 🔥 🔥 🔥 #melissa808irl

This weekend is @hifoodwinefest #Maui in #Kaanapali and @olenaheu & I are checking it out! Tonight’s #MediaEvent was at @eat.mauka.makai in @westinnanea. My favorite dish was their Yukon Gold gnocchi in charred Hawaiian orange butter, garden herb essence, and golden macadamia nuts. I think we all kinda wanted to lick the bowl! #Melissa808IRL

One of the best things I’ve put in my mouth in a long time!! @paihonolulu’s “Luau Leaf” from their 8 course tasting menu, infusing luau leaves into the ramen dough. It’s served with chicken confit and topped with crispy chicken skin as well as Pai’s “fire water.” #melissa808irl #mediatasting

Three months ago, my sushi chef neighbor told me that Club Evergreen was reopening soon. Since then, I’ve been driving up & down Kapiolani wondering where it is!! Well, Mori-chan neglected to tell me that they changed name, too. For you #HostessBar aficionados, it’s now the New Club New Business, where Butterfly Lounge used to be. Bigger space & well lit, still only 6 seats for Mori-chan. @palizzz says the sights & sushi are great!! #melissa808irl

Cute new presentations and a whole new menu are now available at @bluenotehawaii, thanks to chef Tony Avilla! This is his poke, which you can eat as is, or wrap into the accompanying nori. The rest of the menu features pizzas & other shareable items, which totally makes sense when you’re watching concerts there. #melissa808irl
