Very Special Thanks to Matt from Roy’s in Poipu Kauai…

If you ever find yourself on Kauai, generic make sure to stop by www.roysrestaurant.com in Poipu and say hello to this gentleman Matt Dela Cruz –

Head Chef at Roy’s, He is also a MIXTAPE FAN and Hip Hop Head, and when He found out I was on the island and it was my bday, he went out of his way to create a VERY VERY special Menu for us to check out.

He told me he had been a fan of the mixes, played them in the kitchen, drew inspiration from them for his own craft of making gourmet food.

Here is a rundown of the dishes…
