The game was incredible, but the tailgates we checked out before kickoff may have been just as good!

There were a lot Oregon State “fans” including the family of Kahuku native LaMone Williams, a defensive lineman for the Beavers. However, just because they were on the “wrong side” for the day that didn’t stop us from checking out their spread that was a mix of Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan food. Yum!

We also stumbled upon a massive 4-tent tailgate with a variety of all the local favorites such as musubi, BBQ chicken, kalbi, fried noodles, and li hing mui pineapples.

When it comes to tailgating — Hawai’i no ka ‘oi!

Mahalo to Honolulu Burger Company for keeping us full at the ESPN Honolulu Tailgate!
