Kai Market's Thanksgiving dinner buffet

Like its everyday, impressive spread, Kai Market's Thanksgiving dinner buffet culls from Hawaii's multiethnic cuisine. Cold offerings include Hawaiian-style poke, kimchee tako poke and sashimi, while the carving station serves up bone-in ham with a pineapple rum raisin glaze; alaea salt-crusted prime rib; roast turkey with Kahuku corn stuffing and cranberry kumquat jam; and steamed Chinese-style local snapper. Sides run the gamut of smashed potatoes, garlic and kim chee fried rice, "shrimp truck style" shrimp, pork belly with bao, and huli huli chicken. For dessert: pumpkin crunch, mochi, almond float, red velvet cake, and Ted Bakery's famous pies. If any one spread could capture the hodgepodge of a Hawaii Thanksgiving, this might be it.
