Nutritionists have long advised that a wholesome breakfast is the foundation of good health — and who are we to argue? That’s why we are very strict with each other about this particular meal, especially if we are having a rough patch. It’s possible to forget, after all, that we’re lucky we live Maui — […]

One of the most memorable meals we’ve had at Chef David Paul Johnson’s table started with a bean soup so hearty and creamy that we actually scraped the bottom of the bowl. The black beans, earthy-sweet and tender, were completely pulverized by a blending that lasted, according to the waitress, for at least fifteen minutes. […]
