Maui Life Podcast With Shane Perry And Aunty Pineapple

Eating on Maui can get very expensive pretty fast and that's hard when you are in a limited budget. However, if you know the right (affordable) places to eat, it won't be so bad.  This week, we decided to share some local restaurants on Maui that offer great food at affordable prices. We have already discussed food trucks in previous episodes, so this one is focused on places with sit-down options inside a building or in their own backyard/deck. This discussion is helpful not only to residents but to visitors as well. We also touched on the recent effects of Hurricane Lowell in our community, as well as vacation planning for visitors and the upcoming Maui County Fair.    

In this episode of the Maui Life Podcast, Shane and Aunty Pineapple get together for another casual talk-story session about what’s happening around Maui. We talk about the weather and Hurricane Lala, the long-awaited completion of South Maui Road, and the new parking fees being introduced at Kamaole Beach Parks. As always, it’s a little bit of Maui news, a little bit of opinion, and plenty of local talk story. Tune in and join the conversation!

Maui’s food truck scene is full of hidden gems, and in this episode, Shane Perry and Aunty Pineapple reveal some of their personal favorites (best for them right now). From well-loved local trucks to a rising vendor that might just be the next big food truck on the island, they share where to find some seriously good eats. Right now, that up-and-coming favorite can be found at the Kahului Saturday Morning Swap Meet and the 808 Sunday Market—but Aunty Pineapple predicts bigger things ahead.  After listening, we encourage you to go to @mauilifepodcast Instagram and share what your favorite Maui Foodtruck is. We are excited to hear from you!

Recorded in January of 2026, Shane Perry and Aunty Pineapple talked story about the new year, and visiting Maui in 2026.  We are excited and looking forward to many more talk stories here at Maui Life Podcast. It is now February 2026 and the weather on Maui right now is unusual.  Itʻs a story kind of weather.  This is what "winter" on Maui is like - sometimes there are rain. Anyway, wether you are a resident or a visitor - we hope you enjoy listening to this podcast episode.  Aloha and a hui hou!
