Triple D Goes Hawaiian (DV0811H)

Season Eight, Episode Eleven

Triple D Goes Hawaiian - Original Airdate 4/5/10

Guy Fieri checks out the hot spots in Hawaii. A third-generation, family-run joint doing plate-lunch Hawaiian style. A restaurant by the water, where the daily special really is the catch of the day. A hot dog place serving everything from Chicago dogs to homemade lobster dogs. And an authentic luau, where the centerpiece of the full Hawaiian spread is a whole roasted pig.
