Grind Time: Best of 2012
BY JASON GENEGABUS / jason@staradvertiser.com
It was quite an eventful year for “Grind Time” in 2012. While restaurants will always come and go, the last 12 months saw a number of big-name visitors show up for a variety of special events, including the always-popular Hawaii Food & Wine Festival and the first-ever visit by industry insiders StarChefs.com.
Here are my favorite posts from the year that was. Here’s to another great year in 2013 for Hawaii’s food and beverage industry, local restaurants and all those hard-working individuals who make it all happen.
Happy New Year!
