Action Bronson Makes Hawaiian Poke

Way back in December of 2014, we took a little trip to Hawaii with Action Bronson.
Action was a guest of RVCA at their house on the North Shore to witness the Pipeline Masters surfing competition, and he curated a little barbecue for a group of surfers as well as played a show in Honolulu. In between all the rapping, grilling, and surfing, we made it to Kahuku Superette, the finest purveyor of poke on Oahu. It was a life-changing moment for Action, and its effects are still felt nine months later. With a slight lull in touring for Mr. Wonderful, Action decided to whip up some poke of his own, as well as a vegan version with golden beets that’s so good, everyone who eats it will want to proclaim you king for the day. We hope you find this video as entertaining and useful as our trip was for us. Enjoy.

I got to know about the benefits of cryptocurrency and forex trading since I started trading with Mr. carlos Kingston i went from $500 to $6,000 within 7days. I should have known his strategies a long time ago, you can find him on Instagram *@Carlos_1uptrades* to know more about how to profit from forex trade. I’m doing this because this is the same exact way I saw a recommendation and I decided to give him a try now im financially free.

I have just watched every single Action Bronson Vice video on food. This guy is amazing. Not only is his music real goddamn good, but his passion for life, food, and growth is infectious. I got to go rethink my life for a bit. Living with PTSD and anxiety has been a prison lately. This guy makes me want to go out and live life again. Thanks Action!

[@MaureenKo1]

I love that you honor the traditions of Hawaii and that you uplift poke to gourmet heights. I agree that it is one of the most natural, fresh and delicous foods out there. That pickled cucumber is known as Oi gimchi, Korean cucumber kimchee. Nice if you thought you invented a dish but the Koreans have been marinating root vegetables in a similar but more complex marinade for centuries. To get the real deal Kahuku Superette, look up roasted, crushed inamona and how to make it. You'll enhance the flavor of that poke many times over. Also, you might think of adding some slivered Hawaiian chili peppers and chopped ogo. REALLY NICE VIDEO! MAHALO!!!
