The Must-Try Food Gordon Ramsay Suggests When Visiting Hawaii
BY ELIZABETH OKOSUN
When in Hawaii, the food that attracts celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay the most is banana bread, which he prefers to get from a pit stop called Halfway to Hana.
In a food guide for British Airway's High Life, Ramsay calls the dessert the "dark horse" from his trip to Maui, noting the Hawaiian version is more flavorful than the U.S. one.
The bread features apple bananas, a different kind of banana than what's common in America. The fruits are native to Southeast Asia and grown in Hawaii.
Apple bananas are smaller and sweeter than what's on the mainland. They have a mild tang from notes of strawberry and pineapple and a creamy texture that yields moist bread loaves.
