Executive Sous Chef Jayson Kanekoa engages culinary enthusiasts on
an exclusive "Chef Shuttle" excursion at Waikoloa Beach Marriott
Resort & Spa. It's a locovore sojourn where farm-to-table
dining takes on a creative twist.
On a bright and early morning, Kanekoa will whisk guests from
the Kohala Coast resort's porte cochere to his hometown of Waimea
where they'll dine at one of his local favorites, Hawaiian Style
Cafe, for breakfast. Along the scenic drive, he will inquire about
their food interests and preferences before planning the day's
route.
"I enjoy talking story with my guests. In that way, I'll be able
to plan where I should take them because there's something to be
said about providing a unique excursion for each guest," said
Jayson Kanekoa. "I tailor each tour according to the season and the
guest's palate."
Kanekoa will then take guests to the Waimea farmers market to
talk story with local agriculturists such as Luis Rincon who grows
strawberries or Wow Farm's Mike and Tricia Hodson who produce vine
ripened tomatoes. There are also local ranchers and fishermen to
meet. To round out the trip, they will visit family owned and
operated farms or the nearby fish market. After shopping for fresh
produce, meat or seafood, Kanekoa will return to the resort to
prepare those items for a farm-to-table dinner that evening.
Once back at the Waikoloa resort's Hawaii Calls Restaurant &
Lounge, Kanekoa will design a customized menu featuring the day's
ingredients and prepare the fresh dinner for the guests to enjoy,
all within a matter of a few hours.
Starting at $349 per room night, the Chef Shuttle Package
includes:
- Weekend (Friday to Sunday) two-night stay in garden mountain
view accommodations
- Chef Shuttle
- Dinner for two at Hawaii Calls Restaurant & Lounge
Offered the first weekend of every month. Must stay Friday
through Sunday. Based on availability, restrictions may apply.
Guests can participate by booking the resort's Chef Shuttle Package at www.Marriott.com/KOAMC or
