The Have Aloha Will Travel Podcast welcomes Chef McKenna Shea, who recently took home the crown on Food Network’s Chopped.
Maui chef McKenna Shea made headlines last week by winning on the Food Network show “Chopped.”
The executive chef at Pacificʻo on the Beach in Lahaina, Shea has been a longtime fan of “Chopped,” and the opportunity for her to compete has been a lifelong dream of the Maui chef. And in this episode of the Have Aloha Will Travel podcast, she talks about her experience on the show, what it was like filming, and how she came up with her show-winning abalone stir-fry dish.
What will Shea do with her $10,000 prize? Why did he decide to go with a salad? What was her training like before participating in the show? You have to listen to the episode to understand. What visitors and locals alike can do — if they’re in Maui — is head to Pacificʻo on the Beach and try its award-winning fried balloon dish, as it will be on the menu for a limited time.
