PERHAPS ONE OF THE MOST
enduring entrees on any restaurant menu is the kingly steak. It’s almost mandatory that a cut of beef—from filet mignon and New York to ribeye and porterhouse—be among the main options, regardless of cuisine type. But what is it about the sound of sizzle or the sight of a perfectly charred, crisscross-seared steak that makes this meaty entrée so irresistible? Here are five mouthwatering reasons. Amid the proliferation of steak houses on Maui, or nationwide for that matter, Ruth’s Chris remains a stalwart in this culinary genre—and for good reason. Its “Cowboy” bone-in ribeye still ranks high among visitors and island residents, including myself, who prefer the marbling and fat content over the leaner filet. Honestly, though, what makes Ruth’s Chris better than other restaurants of the same ilk? Is it name
recognition? Perhaps. Is it service? Possibly. Is it the 1,800-F temperature of the broiler that locks in the corn-fed flavor of the USDA Prime cut? Definitely. The late Ruth Fertel served the best meat possible when she opened the first tongue-twisting Ruth’s Chris Steak House in 1976 in New Orleans. A year later, the affectionately known “Empress of Steak” agreed to issue her first franchise with many more to follow, including this tony Wailea location that opened in 2000. “It has to be medium rare,” says executive chef Daniel Bader. “I think our service and the quality of our steaks sets us apart from other restaurants. What we provide is more than just a great meal but a great experience overall.” Since opening his first namesake restaurant in Lähainä in 1976, the late Bob Longhi had always

(This page, from left) The 16-ounce ribeye at The Pint and Cork’s is marinated in grain mustard, whiskey, Dijon mustard and various herbs.

stated, “Cook with love. Eat with passion.” These six simple words hint at this family-run business’ success, longevity and popularity among visitors and locals alike. But it’s the cuisine that has truly earned diners’ attention and loyalty. It’s simple, honest food that’s prepared well—and consistently, too. “Our menus are built on family-style dining,” says longtime general manager Michael Rose. “We don’t have side plate or splitting charges … none of that stuff matters. We really encourage people to share.” While Longhi’s offers USDA Prime steaks for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it’s only in the evening that guests have a choice of a 13-ounce New York cut served with caramelized onions and mushrooms, an 8-ounce filet complemented with a creamy Béarnaise sauce or the Longhi-style filet accompanied by sliced red peppers. “We marinate our steaks in extra 32

virgin olive oil, basil and garlic,” Rose says. “Any menu item that’s Longhi-style is a signature dish.” Located above Longhi’s, Tommy Bahama Restaurant & Bar offers an eclectic Baja-meetsHawai‘i menu that’s anchored by its “World Famous Cocktail Shrimp,” ahi tuna tacos and kālua pork quesadilla. Yet, as popular as these dishes may be, executive chef Jason LaMotte’s riff on a ribeye steak also deserves a taste. His rub recipe is spiked with Maui Mokka Coffee, which wakes up the marbled beef in the best way possible. For an option with more heat, order the Wagyu Zabuton, which is a steak butchered from the “under-chuck flap,” and is
so named because of the flap’s shape, which is similar to that of the flat Japanese sitting cushion (zabuton). “I would pick the Wagyu; it’s an amazing grade of meat,” LaMotte says. “The marbling is perfect. [It’s got a] deep beefy flavor with a rich and tender [bite]. Great steak.” Having quickly established a reputation for its gastropub fare, The Pint & Cork’s hefty 16-ounce ribeye is marinated in a mixture of grain mustard, whiskey, Dijon mustard, thyme, rosemary, garlic, onions, brown sugar and olive oil, then grilled and topped with a robust red wine gravy. Prime rib is technically a roast, not a steak. That is, unless you slice the ribs into steaks before cooking, in which case it becomes a ribeye. At Cheeseburger Grille & Tap Room, a thick burger is topped with four ounces of prime rib then smothered with creamy horseradish and sautéed onions. You’ll definitely need extra napkins to handle this twohands-required sandwich.

SUMMER REFRESHERS Stay cool with these sweet cold treats By Simplicio Paragas Photography by STEVE CZERpNIA photography By isaac arjonilla
Visiting actors, musicians and diplomats are among those who loyally seek out a mound of shave ice at Surfing Monkey, a modest 10'x10' shack. And no one can resist the sweet aroma of a fresh waffle cone that lingers in the air, luring in guests with a scoop—or two—of luscious ice cream. Of course, there’s also Pä‘ia Gelato at Island Gourmet Markets’ Coffee Bar and tubs of Roselani Tropics Ice Cream at Whalers General Store. At Surfing Monkey, the shave ice flavors cover the rainbow spectrum, from strawberry and raspberry to banana and watermelon. “Eighty percent of our flavors are all natural fruits,” says owner Paul Davies. “We source most of our ingredients locally.” The late Walter Lappert’s intention was to retire on Kaua‘i when he moved there in 1983. But instead, he built an ice cream empire. His ice cream won a devoted following because the flavors seem so quintessentially Hawaiian. Lappert based many of his flavors on local ingredients. “Heavenly Häna,” for instance, is a mélange of creamy chocolate ice cream with delicate swirls of marshmallow, handmade chunks of white-chocolate-covered macadamia nuts, dark chocolate almonds, chocolate bits and roasted almonds. Other popular flavors include the Coconut Macadamia Nut Fudge and Big Island Inspiration.
LICKETY SPLIT (Clockwise from top) Quickly cool down with a choice of ice cream at Lappert’s, a rainbow mound of shave ice at Surfing Monkey Shave Ice or a cup of Pā‘ia Gelato at Island Gourmet Markets.
Made on Maui since 1932, Roselani Tropics Ice Cream is the brainchild of Manuel Nobriga, who started churning out ice cream by hand for local parlors. In the 1970s, Manuel’s son, Buddy, came up with the name Roselani. It’s the Americanization of the word “lokelani,” which is Hawaiian for “heavenly rose.” Maui’s official flower, this red blossom has been proudly displayed on Roselani Ice Cream cartons ever since. Must-tries include Nobriga’s original recipe, Poppa’s Classic Chocolate, Kona Mud Pie, Mango ‘n Cream and Haupia. For a creamy cup of gelato, stop by Island Gourmet Markets’ Coffee Bar, where you can choose from such gelato flavors as pineapple, lilikoi, Loco Coco, vanilla-and-macadamia, Big Island Macadamia Crunch and Sandy Beach, composed of peanut butter, coconut candy and lava sea salt.

September’s partner, Best Buddies Hawai‘i, emphasizes the importance of community and relationships. It is a branch of Best Buddies International, the world’s largest organization helping people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) connect and form meaningful relationships with the world around them. Hawai‘i’s branch focuses on two pillars: oneto-one friendships and leadership development. Conducting school and community friendship programs like Best Buddies Middle Schools, Citizens and e-Buddies, they provide opportunities for people with IDD to bond with and befriend those who don’t, erasing the invisible line that often separates them. They also hold trainings and workshops to equip people with IDD with the skills they need to successfully
self-advocate and become leaders and public speakers. With these programs, they aim to help people with IDD lead independent lives and feel valued by society. PORT IN A STORM

BETTER THAN BAREFOOT Walking about in the islands
ONCE UPON A TIME, there were only “rubbah sleepahs.” That’s the phonetic spelling for the Hawaiian-style pronunciation of “rubber slippers,” the term islanders customarily use for what are otherwise known to the rest of the world as flip-flops, thongs, jandals, sandals, go-aheads, etc. Laid-back Honolulu teems with slippers. It’s the city in which “fancy” is an aspersion, referring to a place or event where you probably have to cram your feet into something other than slippers. My photographer friend didn’t like fancy places much. “No need!” he’d say cheerfully. Many people in Hawai‘i, rich and poor, share his anti-fancy, no-need esthetic and can be found wearing slippers all the time. For visitors to Hawai‘i, I would suggest you begin 38

your time in paradise with a pair of the most basic rubber slippers from the sundries store. The simple act of exposing your feet is a fine tribute to the host culture and gets you quickly into the groove. Your tender tootsies can spread out and start communing with the pH-balanced Hawaiian air, the caressing water, the red dirt, and the silky coralline sands. The genealogy of the Hawaiian rubber slipper starts not with the Hawaiians, who were known to lash ti-leaf sandals onto their tough feet once in a while, but with the immigrant Japanese. They wore the traditional geta and zori when they came to Hawai‘i in the late 19th century to work the fields at the island kingdom’s once-vast sugar and pineapple plantations. The elevated wooden geta, with its flat

sole held aloft by two crosswise blocks, and the flat zori share a V-shaped, three-point thong that secures the foot to the sole without a heel strap. This configuration is the traceable precursor to all subsequent slippers in Hawai‘i and elsewhere. The zori, especially, was well suited to Hawai‘i’s casual barefoot ways. With its fabric thong and stiff sole matted together with rice straw, cloth, leather or rubber, the next-to-barefoot zori became a cultural and sartorial staple in Hawai‘i. As the generation of Japanese field workers unionized and formed Hawai‘i’s great middle class, the zori insinuated itself into Hawai‘i’s very soul. There was only one problem: the zori was a uni-foot design. There was no left or right, just a single ambidextrous slipper—its toehold set in the middle of the sole’s front end. 40

A Honolulu cobbler named Elmer Scott corrected this after World War II, when he was asked to switch from making work boots for the plantations to making shower sandals (or “slides”) for O‘ahu’s military horde. He used old tire treads for the soles and leather for the uppers. Then, for the post-war civilian market, he adapted the zori along similar lines, reconfiguring the footbed and the thong anchor points to make proper left-and-right footwear. Elmer Scott’s impact on the history of slippers have continued with his son and grandsons at Scott Hawai‘i, the family-held company that now makes nothing but slippers—300,000 pairs annually. Still in Honolulu, though the slippers are now made in China, the company designs and sells what may be the most durable everyday rubber slippers anywhere. The bestselling “Makaha” and “Kamuela” models are Hawaiian classics, introduced in the late 1970s and worn by savvy islanders ever since. Sporting thick treaded outsoles, nubby but firm insoles contoured for arch support, and a slight heel cup with snug nylon straps, they cost about $25 at Macy’s, Wal-Mart and
Longs Drugs on all the islands. They last for years. In the era of a local-boy American president (Barack Obama), a local-boy pop sensation (Bruno Mars) and a local-cop hit TV drama (the revived “Hawai‘i Five-0”), Hawai‘i’s favorite footwear is having a bit of a fashion moment. Slippers have become so mainstream that even staid footwear maker Johnston & Murphy offers leather “thongs.” Havaianas, the workaday Brazilian rubber slippers, are now a global hipster brand. A line of finely crafted leather and rubber slippers called OluKai sells for up to $150 at places like Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and select high-end specialty stores. The footwear company, run by Nike and Quiksilver alumni, infuses its products with Native Hawaiian references. One slipper model is called Akua, meaning god or godly; another is called ‘Ülala, or silly. “‘Ohana is connection,” the website explains. “‘Ohana is community. It is the Aloha shared among people with a common purpose.”
