An Evening of Indulgence
L’ulu, Leeward Culinary Arts Gala is an opportunity to invest in educational opportunities for Hawai‘i’s culinary students. This social event of the Leeward side brings together the leaders of Hawai‘i’s Regional Cuisine in support of Leeward Community College’s Culinary Arts Program. Guests indulge their senses with the delectable cuisines of Hawai‘i’s finest chefs alongside the Culinary Arts Program’s instructors and students. Exceptional entertainment and a silent auction, complimented by an array of wines, beers, spirits, and specialty coffees and teas complete the festive atmosphere and extraordinary ambiance of dining amid the Culinary Arts Program’s new dining and kitchen facilities.
In
1991 twelve chefs started the movement; Hawaii Regional Cuisine blended
the fresh, flavorful ingredients from island farmers, ranchers, and fisherman
with the diverse ethnic cuisines of Hawai‘i. Twenty years later the
use of locally grown and produced products are common on many island menus;
arugula from Waimanalo, cucumbers from Kahuku, eggs from Wahiawa, beef
from Waimea, and coffee from Ka’u. Join us at L’ulu this year
as we celebrate the movement that put Hawai‘i on the world culinary
map. Thirteen chefs will partner with farmers, ranchers, and aquaculturists
to feature a locally grown or produced food item in their menu offering.
Join the chefs as they continue to link agriculture with the restaurant
industry and strive to provide diners with products that are fresh, local
and as diverse as our islands themselves.
