Has Anyone Been To A Luau?

We are traveling to Kauai, Hawaii this summer and are invited to a luau for a wedding reception. Does anyone know what is safe there? Also any restaurant help would be appreciated.

There will probably be lots of pig and fruit at the luau I doubt you would have much of a problem there. I'm not sure about restaurants though.

[im going to the Old Lahaina Luau in a few weeks. I made a note in our reservation that I needed gluten-free food (eventhough it's a buffet). They called me back the same day and said that they would offer me 2 choices, beef tenderloin or chicken, then would give me a list of ingredients for all of the foods in the buffet so I could see what is in them and choose for myself.

Maybe where you are going will do the same?

Yep. Just contact the place doing it and they will almost certainly take care of you. If they can't guarantee the safety of the luau food, they should be able to provide you with a safe plate of food so you can eat with everyone else. My understanding is that most of the companies that do luaus also do general catering, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to do that for you.

Let us know how it goes.
