Food in the Urban Core
As revitalization efforts in the urban core of downtown Jacksonville continue to evolve, the question still remains: which comes first, the people or the food?
HOBNOB to Host Labor Day Luau
HOBNOB, an independent restaurant located at Unity Plaza, will celebrate Labor Day (September 5) with a luau from 4-9 p.m.
The luau will include traditional Hawaiian music and an all-you-can-eat buffet by Executive Chef Roger Regulacion, featuring the following dishes:
• Roasted suckling pig and kalua pig with sauces • Longanisa stuffed jumbo snapper • Macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi • Szechuan roasted salmon • Grilled teriyaki chicken • Pancit • Fried rice • Wok charred assorted vegetables • Pork and beef stuffed lumpia • Crispy Spam musubi with spicy soy dipping sauce • Lomi lomi salmon with spicy shrimp chips • Haupia stuffed Hawaiian sweet bread • Pineapple and strawberry layered cake with toasted coconut • Summer melon and fruit platter
Buffet tickets cost $25 for adults and $10 for children ages 12 and under through August 31; the price will increase to $35 for adults and $15 for children on September 1. Children ages 2 and under will be admitted free of charge. Any remaining tickets will be sold at the door. Each buffet ticket includes one cup of alcoholic or non-alcoholic tiki punch by Beverage Manager Marlon Hall.
“As a child growing up in Hawaii, I remember attending luaus to celebrate holidays, honor milestones in our friends and families’ lives, and savor the simple joy of being together,” said Regulacion. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the end of summer than to host a traditional luau for our friends and family at HOBNOB.”
HOBNOB will only be open for the luau September 5. Regular lunch hours will resume September 6.
To purchase tickets, visit LaborDay Luau. Free parking will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis around Unity Plaza.
