Hawai'i: dinner @ town

[If you haven't read the Hawai'i post on dessert tasting at Nobu Waikiki, please do that first and then come back to this post. It'll make more sense :)]

Below is a photo breakdown of an incredible dinner at town in Kaimuki. The feast was organized and hosted by Reid of Ono Kine Grindz, thank you Reid!! At the table was Alan from Manoa, Robyn and myself. Much aloha to Chef/owner Ed Kenney who customized a truly memorable family style dinner for us. Not just a dinner really, definitely a FEAST!

I always visit town on every trip back to Hawai'i, and have made posts before...early 2010 and twice in 2007... though this particular meal, as you can tell by the photos, was the most memorable by far.
