Are your tastebuds ready? The Grand Taste event at Maui AgFest & 4-H Livestock Fair just got sweeter, as presenter Maui County Farm Bureau (MCFB) adds on the final course: Grand Desserts! Both culinary events will take place during AgFest on Saturday, June 1, at War Memorial Special Events Field.
Maui’s best chefs know that nothing tastes better than locally grown produce, island-raised meat and fresh-caught seafood. In this year’s Grand Taste, Maui chefs will choose one of these ingredients to highlight in the competition to see who can create the best main dish.
This years chefs include
Joey Macadangdang, Balai Pata
Matt Dela Cruz, Humble Market Kichin’
Chance Savell, Kaʻana Kitchen at Andaz Maui
Jonathan Paison, Kō
Ryan Luckey, Leilaniʻs on the Beach
Scotty Roberts, Makawao Public House
Damian Rubio, Merrimanʻs Kapalua
Henry Tariga, Seascape Restaurant at Maui Ocean Center
Brian Ethredge, Tails Up!
Nolan Gonzales, Tiffany's Bar & Grill
Out of all the talented chefs, which one will earn the Grand Taste judges’ nod for “Best Protein,” “Best Vegetarian” and “Best Overall”? And the bigger question is, which one will capture the coveted Tylun Pang “Fan Favorite” award? That honor—created last year as a legacy of beloved late Maui Chef Tylun Pang—is decided by the public, with ticket holders trying all the dishes and casting a vote for their favorite.
Grand Taste will be held from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Tickets are available online $30 in advance, or $40 day of (if available).
