A Fine (Dining) Idea
Win a home dinner party by award-winning Tiki's Grill & Bar Chef Ronnie Nasuti

Things that you wanted that Larry Ellison got first:

1 - A fleet of planes at your beck and call. 
2 - An island. 
3 - Gourmet dinners cooked at your home by an award-winning chef. 

Hold on. We can help with that last one. 

Hale Aina award-winning Tiki's Grill & Bar is known as the place to take visitors with its fresh, inventive food served just steps above the bustle of Kalakaua Avenue. Now Chef Ronnie Nasuti, whose pedigree includes leading the kitchens at Roy's and Chez Michel, is volunteering to create a four-course dinner for 10 at the home of one lucky HONOLULU reader. 

The menu focuses on sustainability, something Chef Ronnie has been promoting at Tiki's both on the plate and behind the scenes. All four dishes will feature the best in locally-sourced ingredients. All we know is it's a delectable looking line up.

		Course 1 Big Island Abalone, Three Ways Baked casino style with house made pancetta.  Grilled with preserved meyer lemon shallot mignonette.  In a porcelain spoon with poha berry shave ice, avocado, wasabi oil
		Course 2  Sous Vide Tin Roof Ranch Chicken Roulade Salad  Parma ham, tempura pohole, nalo kale and pecorino cheesecake
		Course 3   Island Surf and Turf  Kauai shrimp luau, vine ripened tomato chili emulsion, hauula haricot vert, Big Island grass fed beef, luau demi and smoked taro puree
		Course 4   Red Velvet Crepe  Waialua estate chocolate mascarpone mousse, tiki-torched lilikoi zabaglione

Chef Ronnie even supplies the perfect plates, utensils and everything else needed so you won't have any set up or clean up to worry about. All you need is nine friends with a great appreciation for good food. We're pretty sure we're available (hint hint).  

Tiki's Grill & Bar is located at 2570 Kalakaua Ave. See the full menu, photos of the dishes, a full biography of Chef Ronnie and more at Tikisgrill.com.
