Aloha! I just got back from a trip to Hawaii and wanted to blog about a couple of really great meals I had while I was there.
1. Merriman's
Merriman's is a dinner restaurant on the Big Island of Hawaii. I ordered the lamb there. They serve lamb as a Butcher's Cut. This means the cut of lamb they have varies. While I was there they were serving lamb chops. I ordered them cooked medium and they were perfect. It was 3 lamb chops, served with jalapeno mashed potatoes and rainbow chard. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection, and adding jalapeno to mashed potatoes is absolute genius (and so delicious)! I would highly recommend this, however keep in mind they may not have the same cut of lamb when you're there. Two other members of my family tried the beef that is also different cuts served at different times. When we were there it was filet mignon. I tried a bite of it and would also highly recommend it. I will warning you though, that this restaurant is extremely expensive. Unless you are a millionaire, this is probably best saved for special occasions.
2. Tommy Bahamas
You may have heard of this one. Tommy Bahamas is primarily a chain of clothing stores. There are two of these on the Big Island and I think there are also some in Florida. There may be some on other islands or elsewhere that I do not know of. One of these on the Big Island also has a restaurant on the second floor. I am absolutely in love with their Parmesan Crusted Sanibel Chicken. It is chicken breast stuff with cheese, herbs, and red pepper, crusted with parmesan breading, and topped with a buttery, roasted red pepper sauce. It is served with cauliflower and potato mash, and brocolini (which is very similar to broccoli). It is to die for! Definitely one of my favorite foods ever. This restaurant is also somewhat expensive.
So that's my favorite foods on the Big Island of Hawaii. I would definitely recommend you try these, if you ever get the chance.
