We are moving into the second week of the shutdown on Oahu. For those
in the food service industry, it has been a long six months grappling
with the uncertainty around this health and economic crisis. Planning
has been pretty hard to do - most people hoped for a short turnaround
but recovery is moving ever so slowly. So many businesses have shut down
and many more are hanging by a thread and the supply chain has a taken a
hit.
Our show today discusses the challenges facing the food service industry caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Our guests:
- Peter Merriman, owner and chef of Merriman's Hawaii, a collection of restaurants across the state;
- Tambara
Garrick, incoming chair of the board of the Hawaii Restaurant
Association, and vice president of the Maui Pineapple Store; and
- Unyong Nakata, marketing manager, Y. Hata & Co., a 107-year-old Hawaii-based food industry wholesaler.
Merriman’s Fish House
offers savory Hawaiian flavors to the lucky guests who make it out to
the garden isle of Kauai. Although you probably won’t be traveling there
anytime in the immediate future, you can still capture the island vibe
with these tangy pork and sweet onion quesadillas.
