Food tripping through Hawaii is a delicious blend of cultures. Hawaii has a fabulous melting pot of culture, with Polynesian, Japanese, Portuguese, Filipino and Korean influences. There is a great section in Sheldon Simeon's cook book about the history of Hawaii and food. When planning for our Maui trip, this cook book was very helpful and got me super excited about all of the different tastes to come (plus, of course, we had to make time to hit Tin Roof, Simeon's take-out restaurant).
