HONU SEAFOOD VIDEO SHOOT

Wednesday September 18th, 2013 was another hot Lahaina day, and it was time for another video shoot at Honu Seafood and Pizza, Mark Ellman's place. So as we set up, Mark comes strolling in.."Hey guys how's it going?" we exchange pleasantries, we talk story about shark attacks and food. Then he tells his staff to get us some cappuccino which was nice, and of course filming Mark's chefs is the best part because we got to eat the finished products.

First off it was Chef Joel who works next door at Mala Ocean Tavern (Mark's place), and Chef Joel made us some Seafood Chowder, Clams with Black Beans and the Avalon Crusted Seared Ahi Sashimi.

Joel: I went to the Maui Culinary Academy for only half a semester and decided to try the real world of restaurant work. I was also at the Westin, but I love working for Mark, I'm learning the real thing here that you can't get in school.
