Mayor Carvalho at South Shoreganics Farm
South Shoreganics welcomed Kauai Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. to the farm this week to tape his local television show, “Together We Can.”
After taking a tour, talking about local agriculture and taping the show, it was time for a taste of the farm. For the visit, two of Kauai’s top chefs prepared dishes featuring locally grown produce.
Executive Chef Matt Dela Cruz of Roy’s prepared “Poipu Style Sashimi Duo.” The island Ahi and Hamachi were topped with South Shoreganics baby radish salad, surrounded by our sweet corn in a succotash and drizzled with soy lime vinaigrette.
Executive Chef Philip Wang of Merriman’s prepared “Roasted South Shoreganics Organic Beets Salad and Fresh Island Organic Citrus.” The roasted beets were served with fresh island citrus, and served on a bed of local arugula and avocado.
The food looked so good it made me want to run for mayor.
