How An Ancient Hawaiian Food Still Makes It To The Plate - Dining on a Dime

  • In a classic Hawaiian meal, poi is the main starch on the plate. It plays the same role in a dish that rice often would: It's filling, and it complements the other flavors in the meal. In this episode of Dining on a Dime, host Lucas Peterson stops by the Waiahole Poi Factory for a truly Hawaiian meal (and a music lesson on the nose flute).

    I love Lucas. Honestly one of my favorite food hosts. He's so respectful, educated, and well spoken in the Eater videos I've seen, especially when they are about an unfamiliar cuisine, his decency is on display in how he navigates it and the culture its from. Also, his moment with the kid...my ovaries may never recover.

    @henlolneh Před 7 lety +36

    The way Lucas describes the food is absolutely perfect. As a professional cook, those are the exact type of descriptor words that we would all love our servers to use because they can truly make one salivate and satiate for something of that nature. The only way to be able to do what Lucas does is to 1) eat lots and try everything and 2) do some actual research on cuisine/cultures and not just base your food knowledge off of which hype restaurants you've eaten at (which Lucas clearly does as he hosts ... Dining on a Dime heh).

    I love how respectful and educated on the culture he is. This is a platform to reach out to so many people who want to learn more about Hawaii and its cuisine; unfortunately, a lot of the times it is misrepresented by people who butcher the language and/or traditions or rudely critique the food and think it's funny.

  • @Naoki511
    @Naoki511 Před 7 lety +28

    As much as I enjoy watching this series because of Lucas' character and personality. What really gets me is his knowledge in food and how he's able to reference to other cultures of food so well. I'm curious to know how much of this is scripted and if isn't at all, what his culinary background is.

  • @jrching6678

    Lucas, your specific comment about not treating poi as a fetish while at the same time acknowledging its prominence, was quite insightful. I just started watching more of your videos and instances like this have shown me that food is more than just food. It's about the people and community behind it. Thank you for this.

    Chicken Long rice is actually a Chinese influenced dish that dates to the 19th century. Native Hawaiians didnt have rice or noodles. Also Lomi Salmon is most likely a 19th-20th century dish. There are no salmon in the waters of Hawaii (too warm), Tomato is a New World plant, didnt grow in Hawaii until Western contact. Everything else looks legit.
