Hawaiian Food Culture with Kimi Werner | Wild + Whole Sourced

With Kimi Werner as her guide, Danielle travels to Maui to explore the diversity of ingredients, both on land and in the sea. Food is deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture and traditions, and the key to its success lies in the stewardship of the land and ocean. Together they forage for fruit to cook with, showcase sustainable fishing opportunities, and plant the sacred Kalo plant on a historical, regenerative farm.

These two need their own show together. What a duo.

[@hushhunting8083]

Meat eater is tapping into a new audience with Kimi on board. The amount of women that are now interested in this channel has gotta be an up root 👏👏👏🤙

[@sarahwise-music956]

Agreed! I'm a new subscriber as I'm a fan of Kimi's.

[@jackiekinner3826]

I see what you did there ‘root’ as in foraging.

[@brokensysadmin]

Natural organic meat is how I sold my very eco-friendly wife on hunting

[@SpeedDemonExpress]

Yeah, and women will start watching women's sports too because women are playing. 😆 🤣

[@nessavee2205]

The Meateater hunting episodes with Steve are my favorite, but these episodes with Daniel are a close second for me. I get the same joy of seeing people that treasure their land and the bounty it provides while being able to live vicariously through them by watching the experiences they have. What a joy. Im so glad Meateater exists.

[@izzymmm]

Any time any video with Kimi comes on I get so excited. I love what she does for food culture, conservationism and the environment.

[@emmah505]

Ugh, I love Kimi. Any videos on her, I'm here for it!

[@glennnanod3160]

This is the way of life for many in Hawaii. Living and appreciating the bounty of the land and sea. I am from the island of Molokai and food from land and sea is how we live. Kudos for showing some of the aspects of our lifestyle. Mahalo and Aloha.

[@kalanimahealanishearer113]

This was beautiful! as a native Hawaiian this hits home! meat eater has hit a new level with these episodes! the addition of kimi has brought a whole new audience. im absolutely here for it! keep it going!

[@nickrnmaui]

Kimi is carrying this channel right now. Good for her. Give Cal a break. Hawaii forward programming is great. Mahalo, cheers, A hui hou

[@dozagurl157]

ugh...respectful, kind women sharing space for each others curiosities and passions. All towards respect for our island. Love love love!

[@Thylacine10]

Best collaboration ever! These two need their own show! :)

[@jackiekinner3826]

I agree. Talking of good collaborations I think a Rinella hunt with Gordon Ramsey would be great.

[@bluesteel8376]

So glad to see Wild + Whole Sourced back! Season 1 was my favourite of all the shows on this channel beside the original Meateater.

[@ppw8716]

…Originally from Hawaii. I enjoyed watching this. All the foods I like to eat. 😋 Thank you!

[@mattedrington9536]

Amazing episode! 2 of the most amazing and beautiful people on Meat Eater, together, hunting and cooking. Cant ask for more

Wow! What a beautiful piece. Kimi is such a badass, and the food looks incredible!

[@dingodennis]

Danielle has an incredible narrating voice.

[@eyeballs306]

Missed Kimi’s magic of storytelling on this episode but happy to see her nonetheless.

[@briank.347]

Awesome, thank you both, Danielle and Kimi! Great episode!

[@Fehren_Hi]

Mahalo Kimi! U r always an inspiration 💕

[@mark-seanbarnabas8218]

Miss the islands life. Need to go back home for a while. So happy to see MeatEater start getting meets from the ocean.

[@bubbaleon]

First time I heard of Kimi was on Pacific Warriors and I always thought she was going to make a huge impact one day. She’s arrived and it’s great.

[@Keith_White]

Kimi and Danielle together? These shows just get better and better! I'm so hungry now!

[@Kumukarl]

So much culture, curiosity and love culminating with a beautiful collab cookout at the end. I’d love to see ta’apa and to’au served in our restaurants on Maui. Mahalo for sharing, I’m definitely going to try some of these recipes 🤤

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha, as a fisherman when I lived in Hawaii, I agree. To’au was always welcome on the end of my line.

[@ritalinboy808]

Love this. Growing up in hawaii had me eating all this good stuff. I miss it. You guys did well here.

[@dougs_urbanfarm]

It is life changing growing and catching your own food. In a good way! Well done ladies.

[@davidhopson9802]

[@calibomber209]

Another great one . Love Kimi! the limu and ogo poke are my faves. hopefully Kimi can show us how to make a proper salmon lomi and poi. or even local harvested kimchi wink wink!

[@jacobbeers1136]

Okay, bringing my two favorite shows together; Now add Das boat and my head will explode

[@FranciscoGarcia-ni9eg]

I loved 😍

[@lukepaki7231]

Amazing ✌🏼🥰

[@nesiansoulallstars]

We grew up on the Guaivee/strawberry guava. The red ones are ok but the yellow ones are super sweet. Since you made a poi brownie with coconut cream Kimi should have had her try kūlolo

[@tylerhovda]

The opening statement describes my 1st trip to Hawaii perfectly. It changed my life. This episode is so good and Kimi is so inspiring. I'm planning another trip to Hawaii this Spring and was returning to the Na'pali coast, but, if this garden they walked in is accessible to tourists and in Maui I'd travel there, after I heard the tourist industry has plummeted after the fires and they have areas theyd like us to visit on the island. Does the location where they collected the plants have a name? Thank you for this episode!

[@kennethmcdonald3889]

You 2 rock

[@jesuispain]

Danielle + Kimi = Fantastic.

Thanx

[@Dornosliw]

Just have to say I wont shoot trigger fish. All head not much meat and not so tasty when cooked with heat but my goodness the sashimi prep here would change my mind. Just need fresh guava! Well done ladies!

[@abelrodriguez5614]

We the Mexicans love ❤ you Kimi

[@thomasthornton5737]

❤❤❤🤟

[@JR-kc8jx]

Triggerfish is my favorite fish cooked, but I don’t think I could eat it raw. They have a pretty off putting smell before you cook them, even right out of the water.

[@earlshaner4441]

To visit the normal people in the country side I heard you need a invite from the people who live in the wild outdoors

[@N2theBlue1]

That reel set up on just a rod butt with no rod is one of the weirder things I’ve ever seen on a fishing boat lol

[@adamyoung480]

It’s a commercial thing, but as a fisherman, I agree.

[@N2theBlue1]

@@adamyoung480 even the commercial fishermen I know who use hydraulic bandit reels for grouper and tuna have a piece of thick flexible plastic to provide some flex and keep fish buttoned up. Whatever works though.

[@adamyoung480]

@@N2theBlue1 Aloha. I should have clarified. I’ve seen it used in Hawaii.

[@chandong5409]

Hi kimi

[@sionekaalekahi-mauala4253]

Look it up on Google 😁

[@kickeramps]

I thought smashed taro root was called poi? Maybe it has different names.

[@glennnanod3160]

Poi is the completely processed taro root. Water is added and it is smooth. Pai'ai is made by stopping before this. So it is thick without added water, sometimes lumpy.

[@kickeramps]

@@glennnanod3160 thanks for the clarification!

[@adamyoung480]

It is. Kalo is the Hawaiian name for taro which is then processed into poi. Kinda like using a russet potato for mashed.

she seems pretty wack tbh, very haole. looks like kimi is over her. only watched cause of kimi

[@samlove933]

this itch is a 2x then im out

[@dt3306]

finally a video where it shows where kimi is truly an expert in..and should stay...in the kitchen..and not spearing fish in the body lik an amateur making fish suffer longer and ruining vital meat in the process..

[@bluesteel8376]

Kimi is a world champion spear fisher. She is about as much of an expert as a person can be.

[@dt3306]

Yea...is that y she speared the grouper throughthe body in previous spear fishing vid with rinella? That not only ruins a huge portion of thr prime filet butalso makes the fish suffer a while lot more..thats expert skills? Go watch key west waterman on bow to spear fish..stone shots through the head stuns the tish occasionally killing fish reducing the suffering AND doesn’t ruin any of the prime filets..takes skill to do that and not just pull the trigger at a huge body target lmao champion...prob in a women’s division or som other caveat ppl fail to mention. Taking no skill body shots psht

[@tigersbaseball1989]

You mad bro?

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha, and wow! Everyone can miss a stone shot, it’s how you follow through. Not even going to respond to the “staying in the kitchen “ part. Either you’re a Neanderthal or you’ve stoned every fish you shot. That is if you’re even a spearfisher.
