As Michelle wrote back in April, The “I Love Poke” Festival is coming back to OC at Don the Beachcomber. This post is a reminder that the event is tomorrow, June 5 from 6 p.m.-9 p.m.. The cost is $55, which is kind of pricey, but it's cheaper than a flight to Hawaii, and does include tastings from every chef station who will be in attendance, including (as I understand it) Shawn Gole from North Shore Poke Company, Bear Flag and so many others.

There will be more than poke, of course. It is a “Hawaiian Food Festival” after all. Expect malasadas, musubis, and a whole lot of other island “grindz”.
Here are pictures and video from the last one. Click here for more info and buy tickets. Remember, the San Diego “I Love Poke” Festival sold out.
