Localicious Hawaii 2015: Restaurants and menus
Localicious Hawaii, a monthlong campaign to raise funds for agricultural education, is back and kicks off March 1, with more than 100 participating restaurants across the state.
You can support this Hawaii Agricultural Foundation effort by dining out and ordering designated Localicious dishes (made with a locally grown or raised product, and identified on menus with a Localicious sticker or logo). For every dish ordered, restaurants will donate $1 to the foundation’s Veggie U educational program, which will supply classroom garden kits and a five-week science program to 50 local fourth-grade, public school classrooms. The goal is to raise $50,000.
Win $100 gift cards
Beginning March 1 and all month long, we’ll be giving away 15 $100 gift cards from participating Localicious restaurants. To receive details about our contests, follow Localicious Hawaii on Instagram and Twitter (@localicioushi), and like us on Facebook (Localicious Hawaii). Also, be sure to tag your posts and tweets with the hashtag #LocaliciousHI.
Here’s the lineup and menus. More dishes to be added as received.
