How much food can you handle? We thought we could handle a lot until we tackled some of the famous food challenges on the island. There are more challenges such as The Larry, a $11+ shave ice at Shimazu Store in Liliha. But we ran out of stomach room for that one.

This summer, take on these if you dare. And send us your photos of what you defeated or what food defeated you. We’ll post it online at www.leeward.hawaii.edu/kamanao

There are hundreds of eateries across the island and many offer unique dishes that are worth trying. Our food spots cover a diverse range of old and new restaurants, some are hole-in-the-wall and some are ethnic. Never had Indian or Middle Eastern food? We have recommendations for those. Looking for Latin cuisine in Wai‘anae? We found one for you. Eat something new this summer and broaden your food palate.

We’ve all heard the story about the race between the tortoise and the hare right?  If not, then either you lived a deprived childhood, or I am just getting too old.  Allow me to give you the main details of this story.  First, the hare pulls a commanding lead, and looks like he’s going to win, but the tortoise surpasses him once he burns out, winning with a slow and steady pace.  When comparing fad diets to regular diets, this story was all I could think about. The moral of this story is applicable to your dieting habits, slow and steady, wins the race.

In between classes, studying, and homework, students always work up an appetite. Finding cheap restaurants that serve healthy foods may sometimes seem hard to find, but students can have a healthy meal at just about any food joint. As a student myself, I just about get hungry after my first class of the day which ends in the early afternoon. From my experience at the three Leeward area restaurants I have eaten at, I will be rating them using a scale of 1 (being poor) and 5 (excellent).

Slightly off the beaten path and tucked away in the rolling mountains of Wai‘anae lies the beautiful Kahumana Café. For the past 20 years chef Robert Zuckerman has prepared delicious meals for this extraordinary café. Since 1974 Kahumana has not only been a place to enjoy delectable organic farm-to-table meals, but also provides services for families in transition, people who are homeless, disabled, and mentally ill. Within the past few years they have opened their doors to the public and have been well received. Kahumana is a nonprofit organization partnered with the Alternate Structure International and Community Supported Agriculture organizations to help various people build a solid foundation and get back on their feet.

Amidst the concrete walls and sidewalks of our bustling campus lies a lush, fertile, and flourishing agriculture in the back of Leeward Community College. It’s teeming with various Native Hawaiian plants and ripe vegetables that are fresh and ready to be harvested.  The garden club, a newly established student organization known as Hui Māla, manages a small section of this area.

Kings of Kaukau

Things are winding down at Oahu’s monthly Eat the Street event;  “sold out” signs are scattered across the menus of nearly every truck, and sluggish event goers are milling about, fighting off the inevitable kanak attack that follows a great meal.
