Where to go and what to eat during the Hawaii Agricultural Foundation’s Localicious Hawaii statewide campaign.

Localicious Hawaii is back this year with a lineup of 262 restaurants, promoting the use of locally sourced ingredients and the restaurants who buy local. From now until the end of March, all associated restaurants are creating one or more dishes using only locally sourced ingredients, and, every time it’s ordered, those restaurants are donating $1 to educational programs benefiting Hawaii’s local public schools. The dishes are only available during a limited time, but the good news is this is an all-island event.
