Aloha Kitchen, a Hawaiian/Polynesian restaurant now in its 31st year in Mesa, will be featured on the Friday, March 2, new episode of ‘‘Diners, Drive-ins and Dives†on the Food Network.
The episode, titled ‘‘Rollin’ In The Dough,’’ will air at 10 p.m. during a block of ‘‘DD&D’’ episodes and will repeat at 1 a.m. for Cox cable customers. Times may vary for other cable or satellite providers.
According to the network’s description:
‘‘On this trip, Guy Fieri is diggin’ into dishes featuring some dynamite dough. In Mesa, Ariz., a legit Hawaiian joint serving island specialties, including a meaty bun, and in Tucson, Ariz., a place cookin’ up a big-time saucy sandwich and spinach dip calzone. Plus, in Miami, Fla., a funky shop making sweet artisan doughnuts and turning their pastries into savory sandwiches.’’
The Aloha Kitchen’s segment will focus on its manapua, the Hawaiian term for Chinese steamed buns filled with barbecue pork (pictured).
The Tucson restaurant featured in the episode is Renee’s Organic Oven.
