We’re proud to share that Three’s Bar & Grill has been a featured restaurant on Food Network show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives (DDD) not once…but TWICE!!

Our original episode, called “Barbecue, Batter & Beer Can Chicken,” premiered on Food Network on Friday, July 21, 2017!   We aired the showing in Three’s revamped, roomier Surf Lounge to a packed house of loyal customers and supporters!!

Three’s in the National Spotlight on DDD

Legendary show host Guy Fieri and his fantastic production crew flew to Maui in early April to film Three’s food, staff and customers.  Guy took particular interest in several menu specialties like Three’s Traditional Ramen and Asian Beer Can Chicken.

We and our dedicated employees spent many hours organizing ingredients and cleaning the kitchen to perfection before the DDD team showed up.  Then, lights…camera…action!!  The filming process itself was fascinating and the crew was beyond professional, but also really personable and fun to work with!  Between the field producers, audio technicians and videographers, they paid meticulous attention to every sound that was made, each person’s positioning and the angle of every image.

A few days after the shoot, we had the honor of joining the DDD team on a private Pacific Whale Foundation snorkel trip!  We crafted sushi, fish tacos and poke bowls for Guy and the crew, and had an awesome time hanging out!!

Let’s Do It Again Sometime (like how about 2021?)

 

Then, in May of 2021, crews came back to Three’s for a post-COVID follow-up called “Papaya, Panelle, and Pork” — a wonderfully-produced, “where-are-they-now” episode on Food Network.  Chef Travis Morrin got cooking in the kitchen again and we got to feature some local food favorites like our fresh Mahi Mahi Plate, Panko-crusted Ahi Roll and Crispy Pork Belly with Green Papaya Salad.  We worked with such a fantastic crew and were so stoked on the finished production, which aired in August 2021!!

Something Extra & Unexpected with Guy Fieri

And…it doesn’t stop there!  We got a little bonus showing on a special Discovery+ show called “Guy!  Hawaiian Style.”  Our co-owners Travis Morrin, Cody Christopher and Jaron Blosser had the honor of joining fellow Hawai’i chefs to hang with Food Network’s Guy Fieri and his family in a casual, fun setting.  The series aired in August 2021.  What an awesome experience!

We’ll Never Forget Our DDD Experiences
