Foodie Life on Maui Waters
By: David Glenn Taylor
We see you, fellow foodie
You’re not hard to pick out. You have a way about you. You carry yourself differently: you walk with an alertness, with your nose slightly forward, as if the right scent would lift you off the ground and you would float on air, gently guided by the bouquet of the delicate combination of whatever the chef dreamt of last night.
We Get It.
I get it. And for the most part, Maui gets it too. Our island hosts some of the world’s greatest chefs and culinary experiences.
But it isn’t always so. Fifteen years ago, my wife and I stepped aboard a dinner cruise with the promise of a beautiful sunset and delicious food. We were skeptical. After all, our waiter was sweating profusely and there were a lot of people on board. It was as you might imagine: The chicken was over-cooked, the potatoes were over-boiled, the asparagus had died a terrible death and the waiter never stopped sweating.
