Eating like a local in Hawaii can be exhilarating, said Shane Mitchell in Saveur. Particularly on the island of Hawaii itself—the so-called Big Island—it’s often possible to identify “two or three well-defined culinary traditions” on any given plate set before you. The way that Hawaiians cook and eat today reflects three distinct waves of settlement—the original Polynesian seafarers, the Europeans who arrived in the 18th century, and the Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian immigrants who came later. Be sure to try these local favorites.
