EPISODE 4: Kalo Journey
Five talented chefs from across the country were invited on a once-in-a-lifetime exploration of kalo (taro)—learning about kalo’s important connection to community, culture and ‘āina and reimagining this everyday food source for creative culinary uses. Guided by Earl Kawa‘a, Chefs Bonny Davis, Ben Ford, Michael Ginor, Dean James Max and Jason Peel spent time with kalo farmers on O’ahu & Kaua’i—working in the lo‘i and learning how to clean, cook and prepare kalo the traditional way—to inspire their own innovative kalo dishes.
