Hawaiian Puka Dogs





Mmmmmmmmmmm...... Enough said.

After 15 months of cravings and deprivation, we finally tasted the sweet goodness that can only come from a Puka Dog. You may be asking "What's a puka?" A Puka Dog is an original Hawaiian treat that we enjoyed during our visit to the island of Kauai. We probably would have passed it up if not for our friends who told us we could not leave the island without trying one!

Once we ate one (okay - we had a few), we were hooked. But how to get a Puka on the mainland? After repeated emails asking them to ship us some sauce, the Puka people finally started selling their special island sauces online. We ordered three sauces, grilled up some good polish dogs, steamed some bakery-style buns, and had ourselves a Puka party! And of course we invited our friends, the Bowles, who were the first to tell us about Puka Dogs.

Check out the website for more info on Puka Dogs. We like ours with Mango Relish, Lilikoi Mustard and Garlic Lemon Sauce.

  1. I keep trying to leave a comment, hopefully you won't have three from us! Anyway, these sound DELICIOUS! If we ever make it over to the islands, we now know we have to try a Puka Dog!
