New CRC Blog- A little taste of Hawaii at 6,225 feet above sea level

By Julie Cader

Julie is Finance & Administration Manager for the California Rice Commission, and a big proponent of trying new recipes- especially if they feature California rice.

An event we always enjoy is the Tahoe City Wine Walk, where food and wine aficionados stroll throughout the scenic town of Tahoe City on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe.


Although it was a cold and windy day, with dark clouds threatening rain, we powered through on a mission to conquer more than 30 food and wine stations. We discovered hidden treasures in the charming shops, enjoyed live bands, sampled wonderful California wines and delighted in the delicious small plates of local restaurants and caterers. One of our favorite spots was the North Shore Hawaiian Grill, offering small plates of Kalua Pork and cabbage over California Calrose rice for all of the wine walk enthusiasts.


Owners Steve and Collette Martinez are known for their authentic Hawaiian Style plate lunches and dinners served with yummy California Calrose rice and island style macaroni salad.


The sampling was delicious (we had seconds) and we vowed to be back for their North Shore Carrot Pineapple Cake on our next visit.

Don’t miss North Shore Hawaiian Grill on your next 6,000+ foot visit to the lake.
