"You don't win friends with salad," quipped Homer Simpson, that great postmodern American philosopher. And he's right. With apologies to my vegetarian and vegan friends, it's a good, thick slab of flesh—preferably cooked on an open flame and augmented with healthy dollops of sauce and a frothy beverage—that rallies culinary allies to your cause. Enter the first-ever Great Pulehu Challenge, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Maui. Eight teams will compete for prizes and bragging rights in what's sure to be a lively, smoky cook-off. The real winner, of course, will be you, who gets to sample all these gastronomical delights, while enjoying live music, cooking demos and other diversions. Don't forget to grab some extra napkins. www.greatpulehuchallenge.com
