I couldn't come up with a great title except that I think the gist of this episode is how important family is to contentment and sustainable happiness.
Nylos is the only "Chef's Tasting Menu Only" restaurant on Maui. Spell it backwards and it's their family last name.
And yes, it is a family affair for the Solyns. Jeremy runs the back of the house and Paulina manages the front as well as raising their children and cats and dogs. I know first hand how difficult it is to run a business with your significant other, and the Solyns are no stranger to that. Yet, somehow they seem to have managed to figure it out, though at times rocky. It's a continuing process of learning and relearning how to balance it all -- the drive to succeed and keep your loved ones close to you.
I am so grateful to hear their story and our conversation was real, fun, passionate and poignant in many ways.
❤️❤️❤️

Top Chef and CIA Alums - Chef Spike Mendelsohn and Chef Marcel Vigneron have had some real bromance going on for well over a decade.
They first met at a Bar outside of culinary school and reconnected and bonded as fellow competitors on Bravo TV's famous cooking competition show, Top Chef.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to catch up with them while they're on Maui. Because seriously, it was a hoot!
Watch or listen in to our conversation, highlighting some of their funniest moments in the show as well as their supportive and mutually beneficial professional relationship and deep-rooted friendship.

Meet the man behind Swagyu Chop Shop - Chef Steve Brown. He lives, breathes Wagyu - the sexiest beef around! And Swagyu Hawaii's Managing Partner, Nic Gadouas who found the brand compelling enough to pursue and bring to the Valley Isle.
I have to admit, I felt a little dirty when I found myself so excited about this sexy meat. Isn't indulging in this ultra luxurious beef too elitist? However, after talking story, it was surprisingly enlightening how reasonably sustainable it could be!
Get in on our conversation and discover the passion and integrity behind Swagyu Chop Shop. And when can, visit their new Food Truck/Chop Shop that is now open on the west side of Maui.

Tasha Ina Church has had practically a lifelong practice in several modalities in Martial Arts. However, while her flying axe kicks are beautiful to behold in a Jackie Chan movie, it wasn't what saved her when she was drugged and taken by a man she knew.
She has since been a passionate educator and a coach in (female) empowerment. She developed programs for schools for young girls to uplift, build confidence and self worth. She also specializes in helping women (as well as other vulnerable communities) to find their voices and teaches violence prevention strategies.
This was a conversation that brought up triggers, even for myself, that I have apparently blocked out for years. Violence against women happens more than you think.

Mahalo Aleworks serves up some of the freshest and unique Sours, Ales and Beers in Hawaii. Artisanal, small batch and made with fresh local fruits sourced right here on Maui. They are even starting to grow an orchard so that soon, the Beers come from Farm to Pint!
It was a quick chat, but because it's so much fun, my little Donut Shop, Donut Dynamite! is collaborating with Mahalo Aleworks this coming Sunday, September 18 for another Donut and Beer Event! If you are on Maui, come join us!

Chef Taylor Ponte was born and raised working the farmlands in the paniolo town of Makawao, Maui. He has an honest appreciation for the land, fresh produce and livestock which is reflected in his food and his support of Maui's food sustainability. While his cooking style is primarily modern American, he is also well adept at adapting flavors and cuisines from all around the world, and especially food of the mixed cultures of Hawaii.
He runs his own Private Chef business, Kamado with his girlfriend, Natasha, serving a wide array of food offerings that are -- well, on point.
In 2020, Chef Taylor Ponte made history by becoming the youngest Chef awarded the coveted Maui No Ka Oi Magazine Aipono Awards Chef of the Year.

Quite honestly, for the ones in the know, she is mostly in charge to make sure things get done right in two of the most iconic local restaurants on Maui - Tin Roof and most recently, Tiffany's - a local joint beloved to many locals in the small town of Wailuku.

Keep your eyes open for Kitoko. Don't let the Food Truck status fool you - they offer some of the most beautiful food you’ll find on Maui. The menu is truly phenomenal!
My guest, Chef and Owner, Cole Hinueber had his eyes on the prize — to open his own restaurant by the age of 35. Pandemic happened when he hit that number but he didn’t let it stop him, especially after he was furloughed from his job at a famous fine dining restaurant on the island. Instead, he further pushed the boundaries with his food. He makes them so Kitoko. So beautiful. ✨
He had been perfecting his craft for many years before he graced us with his style of cuisine here on Maui. He had studied with some of the very best in the industry and found himself in Australia and France for a decade. He’s multilingual, which makes the whole picture extra sexy.

Do you want them to peek in when you're naked?
Or not?
Our guest was born and raised on Maui and is the 3rd generation in the family working under the “Naka’s” name. Grandfather, Katsuji, started Naka’s Draperies & Furnishings in the mid-1950’s and his father continued with Naka’s Carpet and Drapery in the early 80 ’s. Now Bobby Nakamura is continuing the tradition of the Naka’s name.
You can call him to custom design window coverings so your neighbors don't see you running around naked in your home and disturb the peace.
Also - Bobby spent $19,000 of his own money to purchase 14,000 N95 face masks to ensure that nurses, police, prison correctional officers and others on the front lines of the coronavirus had extra needed protection during the early months of the pandemic….
He finds many windows of opportunity to help and get many of us covered. ❤️🌺

Can Self Care make you hungry or horny? Well, the Creators of To Be Organics probably weren’t thinking that when they started their amazing Indie Beauty Brand. But with super fresh ingredients that you could eat - local Maui pineapples to brighten your skin, turmeric to keep off skin inflammation, mango for luscious skin, chocolate for glowing complexion… they don't recommended it, but you’d wanna lick these beautifying products. 😋
With the purest ingredients and mindful process that exhibits their care for their impact on the environment, you’d also feel good inside.
Not to mention how beautiful you feel with some Self Care… your skin feels good and your spirits are awakened, you’d wanna touch yourself. Or someone else will! 😉
Self care isn’t simply luxurious. It’s imperative for sustaining a happy, healthy mind and disposition.

Mahalo nui to our guest, Leanne Pletcher from the Maui Visitors & Convention Bureau!
We had a great conversation that I hope you listen to, about the many programs they champion to promote responsible tourism —
To hana kūpono (do what is right) while visiting the lands and waters of Maui, to mindfully experience the breathtaking beauty of the ‘āina and the welcoming spirit of the kama’āina.
Because for everyone who comes here, it is our kuleana (responsibility) to mālama (care for) Maui.
And to remember that: He ali’i ka ‘āina; he kauā me kanaka. “The land is chief; man is its servant”.

We were talking some beautiful story with Chef Daniel Lipson, owner of Elite Maui Chef and founder of Pono Soup Kitchen. The gifted Chef creates beautiful Menus for his Private Chef clientele and juggles that with making food for the less fortunate through his nonprofit organization. What is his game plan on how to keep his passion for work sustainable and how to balance his professional life, community work and his ohana? If he gives the wrong answer, I have a whip with hearts and stars on it. I swear.
