Did this: The 220 Experience
The first of a series, “The Royal Brunch — 220 Experience!” kicked off Sunday at the Royal Hawaiian. The event was put on by the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation (HFBF) to promote the use of local products produced within a 220-mile radius.
A little history: the HFBF worked with chef Hans Stierli and catering manager Louise Abila of the Royal Hawaiian when the 1600-member organization held their two-day convention at the resort. Stierli’s menus for the event included HFBF member’s produce, meats, fish, and coffee, as he incorporated some of his own family recipes. The resulting menu was so impressive, the Royal Hawaiian and the HFBF decided to launch The 220 Experience, using 90 percent local products.
