Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich by Carlos Jorge of HICraft Kitchen

Must Try

After 15 years in fine dining, Chef Carlos Jorge applied his restaurant opening expertise to a fast-casual artisanal sandwich, soup and salad concept in Kakaako called HiCraft Kitchen and he joins us this week in our kitchen.

Carlos says he visited Hawaii a few times and realized he could do something using the level of technique and cuisine expertise that he had acquired over the years and translate it to the simplest of all comfort foods. That is how he came up with HICraft Kitchen, the fast-casual operation that he opened in March 2019.

His restaurant has invested in the construction of their artisanal eatery. From the repurposed wood lanes of a bowling alley to the old newspaper clippings from the Honolulu Advertiser, you can count on the atmosphere to feel warm and inviting. Guests will be treated like one of the family by friendly staff members throughout their dining experience. They use locally sourced products for many of their menu options as well.

This Sandwich pays homage to my time working for the preeminent philadelphia Restaraunteur, Stephen Starr. During my various stints in the “City of Brotherly Love’, I’d always manage to make my way to South 9th street, where it all started at Pat’s King of Steaks. This is our Hicraft way of paying Tribute to their iconic culinary invention.
