Restaurant Week Hawaii, 2008 to 2020
From 2008 to 2020 this web address belonged to Restaurant Week Hawaii, a yearly dining event in Hawaii. The event’s site is gone, and the site you are reading now is a different publication. This page records what was here, for the people who still arrive through old links.
What the event was
The old homepage described Restaurant Week Hawaii as “a special event to support the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head”, the culinary school that is part of the University of Hawaii system. Restaurants signed up to take part, and each one had a page on the site showing its Restaurant Week menu, its location, hours and price range per person. Other pages covered student support, the organizing committee, sponsors and registration for restaurants and corporate supporters.
What the record shows
We did not run the event and have no records of our own. What follows comes from the copies of the old site kept by the Internet Archive.
- The archive holds copies of the site from November 2008 to November 2020.
- The site kept a separate restaurant section for each of 2016, 2017 and 2018. The archive holds about 67, 74 and 74 restaurant pages from those sections.
- The 2019 restaurant list was being posted at the end of October 2019.
- The homepage named Hawaii News Now/KGMB, hiChinatown.com and KIKU alongside the event.
Dates of each year’s event, the number of restaurants that took part and the amounts raised are not something we can confirm from that record, so we do not state them.

If you followed an old link
Links to the event’s restaurant pages, sponsor pages and registration forms now lead here, because those pages no longer exist. We cannot take reservations, answer questions about the event or pass messages to its organizers. For the Culinary Institute of the Pacific, contact the institute or the University of Hawaii directly.
What this site is now
The domain changed hands after the event’s site closed. It now publishes guides to kitchen and restaurant equipment, and it is not affiliated with the event, its organizers or the institute. More on the About page.
