This month's mini-case study is Maui Maid Teriyaki Marinade, whose founder Pamela Mikesell reports that she chose the name because she wanted to pay tribute to the women of Maui who have served unique dishes with this marinade recipe for years. I’d become enchanted with a popular flavor in Maui and with the lifestyle of the Peruvians. Both locales were imbued with color and dance and food, and both had drawn millions of people from around the world to the respite of their hospitality. Learn more about this interesting combined evolution.
