Guy Fieri rolls through Arizona, adds Mesa Hawaiian restaurant to ‘like’ list

PHOENIX — Chalk up another Arizona trip for Food Network TV host Guy Fieri, whose recent visit to a Mesa restaurant sent his foodie heart to a happy place.

Aloha Kitchen will be featured on Fieri’s popular show, “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives,” scheduled to air Friday night. The Hawaiian cafe was one of four Arizona restaurants — the other three sites can be found in Tucson — chosen for the show this month.

The episode, called “Rollin’ in the Dough,” focuses on one of the restaurant’s dishes described as “a meaty bun.”

The menu offered a mix of Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese and Korean recipes.

Aloha Kitchen, at Alma School and Guadalupe roads, is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fieri has made several visits to Arizona, including stops at three Valley places in October 2017.

During the same episode, Renee’s Organic Oven in Tucson, will bring out “big-time saucy sandwich and spinach-dip calzone,” according to the episode guide.
