Honolulu Cookie Company started in 1998 when entrepreneurs Keith and Janet Sung developed a winning recipe for premium shortbread cookies. As an artist, Keith wanted to develop something unique – a cookie that represented true Hawaiian hospitality. What he created was a line of island-inspired flavors in a signature pineapple shape. The recipe has been refined over the years, but we always carry through that dedication to quality ingredients inspired by the flavors of our island home.” Honolulu Cookie Company’s Julie Plant, VP of Retail, conveys the aloha.

All of this and heaping helpings of extra deliciousness on this week’s not-to-miss show!

Kyle Meyer of Wine ExchangeKyle Meyer, Co-Founder & Managing Partner of Santa Ana’s Wine Exchange, our resident wine authority (sans attitude,) joins us for another informative wine commentary responding to listeners’ thoughtful questions.

What credible wine publications are worth reading & subscribing to when the casual wine connoisseur wants to increase their wine IQ? Just looking for honest, journalistic reporting without pretension and possible advertorial coverage.

The Michelin Guide is back covering Southern California after a long absence. (They dismissively dropped the Los Angeles Guide after 2009.) Chefs and restaurateurs are talking about who was included along with the conspicuous omissions. Kyle knows fine-dining. His thoughts on the significance…?

Julie Plant of the Honolulu Cookie CompanyHonolulu Cookie Company started in 1998 when entrepreneurs Keith and Janet Sung developed a recipe for premium shortbread cookies. As an artist, Keith wanted to develop something unique – a cookie that represented true Hawaiian hospitality. What he created was a line of island-inspired flavors in a signature pineapple shape. The recipe has been refined over the years, but we always carry through that dedication to quality ingredients inspired by the flavors of our island home.”

“From our bakery, stores opened throughout Honolulu, particularly in Waikiki, to ensure the hospitality that inspired our cookies was delivered to visitors from around the world. Eventually, we found homes and opened new locations on Maui, in Las Vegas, and in Guam.”

“Each progression is informed by a commitment to sharing the best experience of a Hawaiian vacation. The cookie collection packages are designed to delight and the stores are eager to share the Aloha Spirit, but it all begins with the cookies. The finest ingredients are selected to bake fresh daily and ship internationally to friends and fans around the world.”

Honolulu Cookie Company’s Julie Plant, VP of Retail, who we met at Vegas Uncork’d during Mother’s Day Weekend, conveys the aloha.

Marking its 20th anniversary in 2018, Honolulu Cookie Company has been baking its premium shortbread cookies in a signature pineapple shape fresh daily in Hawai’i since 1998. The cookies inspired by Hawai’i are handcrafted using only the freshest and finest ingredients. Available for shipping, each cookie is individually wrapped.

“Pineapples are the international symbol of hospitality. In fact, our iconic cookie shape was originally chosen for this reason. Our cookies are designed to be given as gifts, a way to celebrate a meeting of old friends or new acquaintances by sharing something sweet.”

“We also see ourselves as hosts who strive to share the Spirit of Aloha by making all of our guests feel welcome. With each pineapple-shaped cookie, we want to invoke a pleasant memory or experience reminiscent of our home in beautiful Hawaii.”

“At its root, “Aloha” is an ideal and a philosophy that encompasses a love and respect for people, their culture, and the world around them. It is with this in mind that we extend a warm welcome to all who visit. To celebrate the complex and beautiful ideas that are at the essence of the Spirit of Aloha, Honolulu Cookie Company is dedicating the entirety of 2019 to our Share Aloha Campaign. We look forward to you joining us in sharing the deeply rooted traditions behind this ideal and discovering new ways to incorporate it into everything we do.”
