Most people think that when they landed the ancient Hawaiians found a lush tropical paradise.  Nope! Truth is the Hawaiian islands were just barren volcanic rock at first. But those ancient Hawaiians came prepared with the plants and crops that would kick things off, and over the centuries Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese, and Filipino immigrants helped turn Hawaiian cuisine into a multicultural extravaganza.  And we’re here to help you taste it all!
