Lanui Le'ale'a a la sola! (Holiday Fun at sola!)

Ingredient of the Month: Bacon

Who doesn't love bacon! This month Chef Carol Wallack and Chef de Cuisine Alex Shalev are celebrating one of his favorite foods - bacon! All December long, sola's menu will be all things bacon! From bacon brittle ice cream to sola's mouth watering burger, there is a bacon dish for everyone.

Facts about Bacon

* It's one of the oldest meats in history; the Chinese were preserving and salting pork bellies around 1500 B.C.
* Several slices of bacon are healthier in terms of calories, salt, fat and cholesterol than a hot dog, hamburger or glazed donut.
* The firmer the fat, the less sliced bacon will curl as it cooks.

Burgers, Beer & Bacon!

Indulge yourself with sola's burger, beer and bacon Thursdays!

Every Thursday beginning at 5:30 p.m., Chef Carol Wallack features her burger, a unique beer and a special appetizer infused with sola's house-made bacon.

Some specials include bacon brittle ice cream with apple bread pudding, Morimoto Soba Ale and sola's burger which is normally only available during lunch. This mouth-watering burger is wagyu "kobe" beef dripping with cambazola cheese, house-made bacon, carmelized onions and arugula squeezed between a chewy pretzel roll.
