I Turned My Apartment Into A Real-Life Luau | Cooking the States (Hawaii)

If I pulled this off in the courtyard of my apartment, YOU can do this ANYWHERE! The luau is a beautiful tradition that involves family, friends, drinks and pork. A lot of pork. Like we’re talking a whole hog. Hawaii might be 4,100 miles away and I might live in an apartment with no real way to dig an underground oven, but I’ll be DAMNED if that stops us and our Caja China Roasting Box... Let’s party. 🤘🏻Adam

My man, you have quickly become my favorite KZbin Chef/Cook, whichever you prefer. Your videos not only have delicious food, they are fun and very informative. Keep up the amazing work.

[@TheAtlasKerr]

I caught myself cheesin hardcore during the luau part haha! It's so cool to see all of your friends and family coming out to support you. Definitely feeling the love in this one. Great job Adam! Thanks for sharing!

[@AdamWitt]

No Thank YOU, dude!

[@Debbierow]

I’m Polynesian (Tongan to be exact) and I have very close family friends who are Hawaiian and this video reminds me of how they would do it and have everyone over for some good ol reggae music and drinks. Dope video as always brotha 🤙🏽

[@AdamWitt]

That sounds tight. I'm all in for reggae and chills. Thank you dude!

[@davidlopezsanz6482]

Dude this vid is just awesome!! You should have some millions subscribers based on the quality of you content!! Keep it up I'm sure you will be there soon!!! Fav food content creator!! GJ!!

[@AdamWitt]

[@michaelshiferaww]

I can see the sheer amount of effort this all must have taken, I tip my hat off to you sir! And congrats to 100k 👏

[@AdamWitt]

Thank you, dude! It was a lot of work, but a labor of love for sure. I appreciate it.

[@jess4337]

you. are. incredible.

[@holdmyrootbeer6896]

For Utah you gotta make chicken fried stake [buffalo is best] funeral potatoes, jello salad and some kind of soda mixture like from sips/swigs. This is the type of food we eat [stake house type food] Btw I’ve lived in Utah for my whole life!

[@shr00m7]

Chicken Fried Steak and Jello salad most defintienly did not originate or uniqe to Utah my dude. Funeral Potatoes might be.

[@joshualiford4227]

I’ve got the perfect idea when you get to TN. You should do a wet battered fried chicken a la “Gus’s world famous fried chicken”. You have a franchise in Chicago so you could do some R&D. It’s the best chicken in the state and started in TN. Also, there’s very few wet battered fried chicken vids on the tube.

[@AdamWitt]

You know I'm goin for the fried chicky. How can I not?!

[@joshualiford4227]

@@AdamWitt Yessir. That is kind of our thing in the culinary world. Can’t wait for that vid homie

[@Rohan-0402]

Bro! You deserve all the success in the world! Always fun to watch you! Keep up the great work! 🙌

[@ceegee1706]

[@thepoortruth]

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks dude!

[@DaBlitz]

Never drink a “Jake Drink” lol

[@joshuacasinillo5533]

The pronunciation of Kiawe is with a V sound replacing the W. It is pronounced ‘Kiave’. I love your videos! Aloha from the Rainbow state 🤙

[@AdamWitt]

Thanks for the tip dude. Appreciate you.

[@Glitchlols]

100K, damn you're killing it.

[@AdamWitt]

We outchyeee

[@smithbrad]

Well done!

[@AdamWitt]

Thank you my mans!

[@josephochoa9861]

Is it weird that I know where mario said yea that makes sense comes from

[@letsGoRichard]

Your videos are pretty great, what happened to the views tho... compared to last year it dropped a ton...

[@AdamWitt]

It's probably a mixture of things. We're working on fixing that.

[@random_eskimo_in_the_rockies]

"...arguably, well, maybe factually the most beautiful state in the United States of America." This statement is only possibly correct if you haven't yet been to Alaska's many OUTSTANDING National Parks, or maybe Bryce Canyon and Zions National Parks in Utah.

[@mx_nana_banana]

I hope you don’t mind me asking, but are you Hawaiian?
