A couple of weeks ago I sent out a twit asking my Maui tweeter friends to let me know where they eat. I told them I am writing a blog post on “Where Locals Eat”. As expected, I got a lot of replies (gotta love Twitter). But I got busy, and have not posted anything about it. I planned to submit the “where locals eat” post to the blog carnival at Home Spun Honolulu but didn’t happen. I was late.
The list is still in progress but I thought I should just upload it (the Spring Break visitors would benefit here). Uploading this halfway done will hopefully motivate me to work on this post. I am submitting this list to Tackle It Tuesday. I know the “tacklers” at 5 Minutes for Moms are great encouragers.
Please note that this is not a comprehensive list. I will keep on improving this post – links to the web, add photos and direction, etc.
This list is compiled from my experience and preference as well as those recommended by local friends.

I second that local thing, although I do enjoy eating local here on my sunny island of Okinawa
You just need to send it in for the next Carnival! I’m always happy to hear and talk about food! So, send it in whenever you’re ready and we’ll share it! Yummy! 🙂

Hi,
I am visiting Maui in a week’s time. I would be residing in Outrigger Royal khana. I wish to know the restaurants in & around which is of affordable cost and good to eat.
Also, which would be the best place for Honeymoon couples to dine with.
Please, let me know.
Regards
Jeanne
Hula Grill! Yes, the best calarami ever! Great service, fun place to eat! 🙂
