Anuhea Stops In To Rock The Kitchen
I was lucky enough to meet Anuhea when she first started her singing career on Maui. Beautiful, sweet vocals and the ability to play the guitar — she had me the first time I heard her. Since then, she has graced the stage with celebrities including Jack Johnson and SOJA, and has been making a real commotion in the music industry. Because of her busy touring schedule, it took three seasons to finally get her in the kitchen with us. In honor of her first job at Mama’s Fish House, she made us her version of beef poke in a papaya — very ono!
