Alan Brennert Quotes
Hawai'i has often been called a melting pot, but I think of it more as a 'mixed plate' - a scoop of rice with gravy, a scoop of macaroni salad, a piece of mahi-mahi, and a side of kimchi. Many different tastes share the plate, but none of them lose their individual flavor, and together they make up a uniquely 'local' cuisine. This is also, I believe, what America is at its best - a whole greater than the sum of it's parts.
