Eating Our Way Through Hawaii's Big Island — Where Food Feels Like Home

Most visitors to Hawaii head straight to Waikiki and Honolulu—but the Big Island offers a completely different side of the islands. In this full 4K episode of United Plates of America, host Gary Takle explores the food, farms, and local businesses that make Hawaii's Big Island feel less like a vacation destination and more like home. Along the way: • Enjoy award-winning Hawaiian barbecue at The Fish and the Hog, one of the island's most popular local restaurants • Visit Hina Rae's Cafe and learn how fresh acai bowls helped turn a small coffee shop into a thriving local business • Tour Ahualoa Farms and discover how Hawaiian coffee and macadamia nuts are grown, harvested, roasted, and transformed into products enjoyed around the world • Finish the journey with a stop at Tex Drive-In for famous Portuguese malasadas, one of Hawaii's most beloved sweet treats From smoky brisket and pulled pork to fresh fruit bowls, locally grown coffee, macadamia nuts, and unforgettable donuts, this episode showcases a side of Hawaii that many visitors never experience.
