We’re excited to share that 98 Hawaiian Grill and our founder, Esera Tuaolo, were recently featured in St. Cloud LIVE in a fantastic article titled “Biz Buzz: St. Joseph food hall opens mid-March”, written by journalist Trent Abrego.
The article highlights the House Food and Tap, an exciting new food hall opening in St. Joseph, MN, which will bring together several unique food vendors under one roof, including 98 Hawaiian Grill!
Joining us at House Food and Tap are:
- Eminent Coffee, a specialty coffee shop by Josh Kaeter
- Birdie’s Pizza and Garden Bar, a brick oven pizzeria by Tyler Thieschafer and Mike Gauthier
- Joetown Smashburger, a burger and shake spot by Mateo Mackbee and Erin Lucas
A special shoutout to Mateo Mackbee, who was also recognized as a James Beard Award semifinalist — a huge accomplishment and honor in the culinary world!
House Food and Tap, founded by Craig and BriAnne Hern, is more than just a place to eat — it’s designed to be a community gathering space, offering great food, drinks (including 30 beers on tap), and a welcoming environment to connect and share experiences.
We are honored to be part of this amazing lineup and can’t wait to bring the flavors of Hawaii to St. Joe!
Big thanks again to Trent Abrego and St. Cloud LIVE for shining a light on this exciting project. Check out the full article for more details!
