Many of Hawai'i's cutting-edge eateries and most beloved food institutions are not on O'ahu. From 'onolicious saimin and "charburgers" on Kaua'i to foie gras ice cream and seafood tapas on Maui; from organic chic in Hilo to home-grown lamb and beef in Waimea, the Neighbors have it going on.
Teshima's, Honalo
This well-loved restaurant serves traditional Japanese fare and some American faves, with matriarch Shizuko Teshima overseeing everything from the first omelet in the morning to the last order of "Number 3 teishoku tray" (miso soup, sashimi, sukiyaki, shrimp, and rice) at night.
