It’s Kā‘anapali Fresh weekend, we’re here on Maui to eat ourselves silly…and of course that includes going on our must-quest: Ilocandia Filipino Store lechon!

Here it is, in all its porky glory:

Not that I need any more pork this weekend: I was just asked if I would be the “pork pinch-hitter” for one of the judges at Saturday’s From Range to Sea event. (She doesn’t eat pork.)

If you’re on Maui and you love food, come out and join us this weekend at the KFRESH14 festivities!
