The menus are posted on the Kahala Resort website. Anyone planning on going? I think I'm going to the Missippi smokin' event, sounds like a great time.

Less a fan of his persona. Still, I also have fond memories of the old Maile Room at the Kahala, and would go in hopes to recapture just a touch of that magic. Just wish that we were there, and could attend. Please let everyone know how the event goes. Is this a charity event? Mahalo, Hunt Fri Jun 12 21:30:35 -0700 2009 4767008 11329 Bill Hunt
