FOOD NETWORK'S "DINERS, DRIVE-INS AND DIVES" GOES HAWAIIAN
On April 5, "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" will air an episode featuring three of Oahu's favorite eateries - Hank's Haute Dogs, Highway Inn, and Nico's at Pier 38. The popular show is hosted by Guy Fieri, known for his trademark bleached spiked hair and laid back California attitude. In its 8th season, "DDD" travels across America visiting classic spots known for their unique take on 'comfort food'.
"This is exciting. It's such a popular show. This is the first time Guy and 'DDD' has come to Hawaii, so we feel even more pumped to be on it," said Nico Chaize, owner of Nico's at Pier 38.
Nico's is located waterfront on Pier 38 just off Nimitz Highway in Honolulu.
Immediately next door is the United Fishing Agency, home of the Honolulu Fish Auction, where Nico selects his fish every morning. Opened in 2005, the casual open-air diner quickly established a reputation with the locals for serving fresh fish that has gourmet appeal and wallet-friendly prices.
Also featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives will be Hank's Haute Dogs and Highway Inn.
Award-winning restaurateur Henry Adaniya took his fine-dining knowledge and expertise and put it into a hot dog. Hank's features authentic Chicago hot dogs, local sausage and innovative gourmet creations inspired by regional and traditional flavors. Hank Haute Dogs is located on Coral St in Kaka'ako as well as an express in Waikiki.
Highway Inn opened in 1947 by Seiichi and Sachiko "Nancy" Toguchi. This family-owned and operated restaurant in the heart of Waipahu continues to thrive 63 years later because of its tradition of serving quality Hawaiian and American food has remained unchanged and secure in the hearts and stomachs of locals and visitors. The restaurant recently completed a renovation that included enhancements and expansions to its seafood market and catering facilities.
To commemorate the event, all three restaurants have indicated that on the day of the show a special menu item or promotion will be offered to their customers.
