Celebrity Chef Sam Choy will entertain at least 1,000 guests with his poke recipes and culinary skills at the third annual Taste of Hawaii event June 7-8.
More than 50 organizations will represent made-in-Hawaii products and the tourism, agriculture, innovation and technology, manufacturing and military industries. The Taste of Hawaii is one of several events slated for the two-day Hawaii on the Hill agenda, which also includes a talk story and a policy summit with congressional committee members and officials.
“Sam Choy is a pioneer of Pacific Rim cuisine, and I’m excited to have him as part of our third annual Hawaii on the Hill hosted in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii, said Sen. Mazie Hirono, partner of the event.
“It was an honor for me to get a direct invite from the senator to attend this event,” said Choy. “My cell phone rang and it was Mazie Hirono on the other line…wow!” he exclaimed. “I am so pleased to see that Poke, a true Hawaiian food, is making its way to the mainland in a big way,” he added.
