Maui- Potlucks Brings Peeps Together

Potlucks R Us...well, it really is. Maui locals and potlucks go hand in hand. Get a call from Joe the mason, he and his wife Kanani the school teacher are inviting friends over for a potluck. What do you bring? Well, it's cool to ask what kind of dish you should bring, because there's no sense in bringing a beef stew if Rick the surfer is bringing it right? So what do people bring to potlucks on Maui?


People bring items from restaurants if they don't cook, foods like:


Roast Pork
Teriyaki Beef
Chow Mein
Chicken Katsu
Sushi
Sweet Sour Pork
Roasted Duck
Mahi Mahi (baked)
Pasta
Salads
Beef Tomato
Pork and Peas


If a grill is hot at the place of the get together, kalbi ribs, chicken, opihi, lobster or crab could be found being turned by the host.


Desserts popular on Maui


Guava Cake
Malasadas

If you do cook, and you are a true foodie and love to create, there's nothing more pleasing than to have a guest share their culinary artistry with friends. Surprising others with a delicious dish, well, it's heaven if you ask me. Maybe you're from another state, by all means, cook something that locals here are not familiar with. Maui is all about sharing with aloha, and friendships are glued by food it really is. So by all means, cook away, create and share.
