For the past 11 years we have asked our readers and the community to share with edible Hawaiian Islands magazine who they feel are some of our local heroes. This is not a best of contest based on popularity but from actual people in our shared community. These individuals or businesses are doing extraordinary work, day in and day out to help make Hawaii a better place to live and enjoy food and drink. This year, for the first time ever we had two ties.
