Kaikodo
60 Keawe Street
Hilo HI United States
The eclectic décor and special ambiance of Restaurant Kaikodo provide the perfect environment for James Beard Chef Michael Fennelly and his unique Big Island Cuisine. Chef Mike was Executive Chef at restaurants in New Orleans (Mike's on the Avenue), Santa Fe (Santacafé), and San Francisco (Mecca), and spent time in Japan, and each locale made its own contribution to the style, ingredients and flavors of Chef Mike's cuisine. The result was a distinctive fusion of East and Southwest; his cookbook East Meets Southwest is not only a delightful and engaging cookbook but an important document in his evolution as a major chef. Now living on the Big Island, Chef Mike continues to expand his creative horizons as he embraces local culinary styles, incorporating local tastes, traditions, and ingredients in the ongoing evolution of his unique cuisine. Kaikodo's own private gardens overlooking Onomea Bay join with Hilo's celebrated Farmers' Market to provide the kitchen with just-ripened and newly-picked vegetables, herbs and tropical fruits, while the freshest ocean fish and highest quality meats and poultry serve as the foundation for the inspired and creative menu. The pastry chef, Jeffrey Rozzelle, provides a range of excellent desserts.
