With the winter weather Delmarva has experienced, perhaps you’re dreaming of a warm climate.

We recently got a taste of the tropics with “Hawaiian Bryan” Horikami, the owner of Hawaiian Bryan’s Aloha Shop in Salisbury. Bryan joined us in the Kirby and Holloway Kitchen to share his recipe for a Hawaiian-Style Poke Bowl, which he says, is a popular appetizer or main course in Hawaii.
