Saturday, 4:30-7 p.m. in Wailea  

June 16, 2005

[FOOD/FILM] This is the event foodies and Maui Film Fest lovers have been waiting for! The Taste of Wailea is the Festival’s annual celebration of food, drinks and cinema. You can hobnob with the folks from the films, catch a gorgeous view of the sunset from the manicured lawns of Wailea Gold and Emerald Golf Course, and eat the finest from Wailea’s resort hotels and restaurants.



Chef George Jackson from Bamboo Chi will be dishing up Foie Gras Sausage with Polipoli Plum Marmalade and Quail Saltimbocca with Sage and Toasted Pine Nuts, for hungry gourmet stomachs. And Adam Condon from Spago will do his award-winning culinary thang with a little Nori Komi Furikake Moloka‘i Prawn and Hawaiian Chili Aioli. You go, Adam! Mulligan’s on the Blue, Four Seasons Resort, Tommy Bahama’s Tropical Cafe and Capische? will also represent.

Austin Powers
