TARO CHIPS AND PINEAPPLE SALSA
Taro is a quintessential staple of Hawaii. On the Islands, it is often pounded and served as “poi“. At Chicago Luaus, we special order our taro from California. Our staff slices the taro root fresh the day before your luau event for a product similar to a potato chip. We then add the final touch of Hawaii with a homemade pineapple salsa.
