We took our palates to paradise this week, coming to you live from the Maui Brewing Company’s brewpub on Hawaii’s Valley Isle!

Garrett Marrero, Matt Russell & Darren Moser

We got things started with Maui Brewing Company owner/founder Garrett Marrero who talked about his personal beer journey and what makes his brews (which reportedly are all “brewed with aloha”) so distinct. We were also joined by his director of brewery operations, Darren Moser, who took us on a flight of some showstopping beers. Foodies celebrated our next guest, Chef Sheldon Simeon, Bravo TV’s Top Chef season 10 finalist and the man behind the hot Maui restaurant Migrant. Chef Sheldon discussed his culinary journey, what flavors inspire him the most, and the central role that pork fat plays on the Migrant plate! Alo-HA!
