Matthew Gray - Chef, Food Critic, Expert Guide Matthew Gray and Keira Nagai of Hawaii Food Tours Photos Courtesy of Hawaii Food Tours << Previous | Next >> The concept seems pretty simple. Matthew and Keira know Oahu's best places to eat, so they can start a business to take people to handpicked restaurants. They'll charge for the service and make a nice profit. Wrong. If that were all that Matthew and Keira could offer the business would have failed in short order. Well, it's not all that they offer. First off Matthew and Keira are just plain fun to spend time with. You could spend hours just talking with them about Hawaii, food, restaurants and Matthew's amazing background. Before he was the top food critic on Oahu, he worked as a professional chef. In fact, Matthew was a personal chef to many Hollywood celebrities in the 80’s & 90’s. He launched a successful food business, Chef Matthew’s Fine Foods, and sold his products to gourmet shops and grocers all over California. Matthew's other business, Pamper & Dine, combining "massage and fine dining in your home," was profiled worldwide in People Magazine, National Enquirer, the New York Times, and CNN, NBC and CBS television networks. You get to do this with other people who are also looking to learn more about places to eat on Oahu. On the day of my Hole-in-the-Wall Tour, there was an older couple from Texas and three adult Hawaiians who had grown up in California but who return to the islands every so often to visit family. We all came from different backgrounds and different parts of the U.S., yet we all found out just how quickly people become friends over some good food.

Hawaii Wedding

HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONGS Wedding Songs Two songs are most-often played at weddings with a Hawai`i theme: "Hawaiian Wedding Song" -- which is more lovely when sung as its original Hawaiian composition, "Ke Kali Nei Au" . And you'll also hear the beautiful "Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae" ("Forevermore"), especially at weddings in Hawai`i. You'll find these songs on the following CDs. Click on "CLIP" to hear just the song -- or click on the album title to view entire playlist Lei Aloha, Lei Makamae ~ Forevermore ARTISTS ALBUM TITLE CLIPS BRIGHT, TERESA Painted Tradition BYRD, JERRY Byrd Of Paradise DILLINGHAM, PETER & FRIENDS Limited Edition Vol II HAWAII CALLS Hawaiian Wedding Song HAWAII CALLS Memories of Hawaii Calls - Vol 1 HO, DON Hawaiian Favorites KAALA BOYS Solid KALEIKINI, DANNY Hawaii's Ambassador of Aloha KANE, ELODIA He Leo Ohana NEW HAWAIIAN BAND Classic Collector Series NEW HAWAIIAN BAND Hawaii's Greatest Hits Vol II PAHINUI, GABBY Hawaiian Slack Key Vol 2 PAHINUI, GABBY The Best of Hawaiian Slack Key with Gabby Pahinui PAHINUI, MARTIN Martin Pahinui Hawaiian Wedding Song ~ Ke Kali Nei Au ARTIST ALBUM TITLE CLIPS AIKO, GARY Mai Poina Oe Iau AKAKA, ALAN & THE ISLANDERS Hawaii's Golden Treasures BYRD, JERRY Byrd Of Paradise DE MELLO, JACK Music of Hawaii DENNY, MARTIN Greatest Hits HAWAII CALLS Hawaiian Wedding Song HAWAII CALLS Hawaiian Wedding Song (instrumental) HAWAII CALLS Hawaii's Greatest Hits Vol 1 HAWAII CALLS Memories of Hawaii Calls - Vol 1 HAWAII CALLS Music from the Land of Aloha HO, DON Gold HO, DON A Night in Hawai`i ISAACS, BARNEY & BILLY HEW LEN Steel Guitar Magic Hawaiian Style KAHAUANU LAKE TRIO The Best of Kahauanu Lake Trio Vol. I KALAPANA Full Moon Tonight KANE, RAY Wa`ahila KEAWE, JOHN Auhele KOHALA Island Treasures LEE, RILEY & PETERSON, JEFF Maui Morning LEED, MELVEEN Melveen's Hawaiian Country Hits LEONANI SERENADERS Hawaiian Hospitality MAKAHA SONS & FRIENDS Na Pua O Hawaii MAUNALUA Maunalua MERRILL, BUDDY Beyond the Reef MILLER, CHARLES SERENADERS The Heart of Hawaii NEW HAWAIIAN BAND Classic Collector Series PAHINUI, GABBY The Best of Hawaiian Slack Key with Gabby Pahinui PAVAO, DENNIS Sweet Leilani POOKELA Moonlight Melodies of Waikiki ROYAL HAWAIIAN BAND Live at Carnegie Hall VARIOUS A Musical Memento of the Islands VARIOUS Aloha Festivals Hawaiian Falsetto VARIOUS Dreams of Hawaii (instrumental) VARIOUS Dreams of Hawaii VARIOUS Hawaii's Sunset Melodies VARIOUS Lei of Stars VARIOUS Maui's Sunset Music VARIOUS Memories of Hawaii VARIOUS Romantic Songs of Hawaii VARIOUS Songs to Hula VARIOUS The Best of Hawaii's Melodies VEARY, EMMA The Best of Emma Veary ©2005 Hawaiian Music Island - MELE.COM -- ALL RIGHTS RESERVED All soundclips on MELE.COM are used with the express permission of the artists/record labels and may not be duplicated Site Map | Contact Us | Site Guide | Submit Halau | Submit Concert
