ReMARKable Palate #198: Poke & Coffee in Kauai

This week, I’m in Hawaii on the first ever Social media tour of the Aloha state, along with a group of bloggers and media makers in different subject areas. We’re discovering all that lies beyond the typical tourist cliches in Hawaii. My first audio show from Hawaii takes me to the island of Kauai, where I go to a supermarket to discover poke with local foodie Jenny Fujita. I also speak with Marty Amaro of the Kauai Coffee Company, the largest coffee producer in the United States.
