AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY
Town
While Town isn't a fast-food
joint, and big plates can go
for $22 (but you can also eat
well for $15), it's as laid-back as dining
gets. Chef-owners Ed Kenney
and David Caldiero make good,
straightforward food with fresh ingredients
(a lot of the produce is from
MA'O Farm in Wai'anae). While the
menu changes daily, the contemporary
dishes with a Mediterranean inflection
might include a must-order
duck breast in a jus reduction with
earthy farro salad dotted with carrots
and fennel, or clams in a citrusy Cinzano
spiked broth (a signature). The
house-made pasta is arguably the
best in town. People like star street
artist Shepard Fairey and "Lost" actor
Naveen Andrews have made the
space their canteen while in town.
And if that's not enough, the place is
also a popular neighborhood breakfast
and lunch spot.
