Hawaiian classics: kalua pork, loco moco, ginger chicken






















"We’ve had many conversations with friends, family, and complete strangers about why Spam musubi is one of life’s great creations—it's sweet, salty, and the perfect handheld snack. The ones from Kauai Family Restaurant stand out as some of the best we’ve had because of their perfect Spam-to-rice ratio. If you’re not into meat from a can, this Georgetown spot also has a great Filipino sausage version along with a full menu of plate lunches and made-to-order poke that goes easy on the sauce." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente, carlo mantuano

"A Georgetown establishment that has fed the neighborhood lunch crowd and a devoted contingent of Hawaiian transplants since the early ’90s, I will host a brunch fundraiser on Sunday, August 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., donating proceeds from the brunch menu (including staples like spam fried rice and kalua pork) and collecting prepaid gift cards, hygiene products, baby wipes, diapers, and formula; owner Peter Buza’s brother and sister-in-law told KUOW they “lost everything,” which motivated this community effort." - Sophie Grossman
