I love Poke Festival coming to H.B.

Poke is my all time favorite food so I am extremely excited that the 4th annual I Love Poke Festival tasting event and competition is returning to Orange County on Sunday, June 28 at The Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort. The foodie festival and chef competition invites poke connoisseurs and newcomers to celebrate the Hawaiian delicacy, lifestyle and culture as chefs compete for the title of best poke.
 
Can you imagine endless plates of poke? It will be a site to see.

The I Love Poke Festival will feature 10-12 Orange County chefs competing for the title with their unique versions of the popular fish dish. Notable participants include:

  2.  Shawn Gole of North Short Poke Co.,

Poke, pronounced “Poh-kay” means to cut or slice and is traditionally prepared as a raw salad of fish, sea salt and any number of preferential ingredients. Festival goers will get to sample the poke as a panel of judges evaluate each dish based on presentation, quality of ingredients and flavor, to crown the winner. Many returning champions from past I Love Poke Festivals will be competing against each other for the title.
