Fine dining meets food truck vibes with camel burgers and molecular gastronomy in Koloa
About Kickshaws
# Kickshaws
Chef Seth Peterson brings fine dining creativity to a laid-back South Shore food truck, using chemistry and physics to craft dishes with real technical precision. You'll find camel burgers and pressure-cooked frog legs alongside elevated comfort food classics.
The **Happenin' Humpy Camel Burger** features a ground camel patty topped with ginger pickled apples, preserved lemons, and harissa aioli on a Deli & Bread Connection bun. If you're not feeling that adventurous, the **Ooey-Gooey Gourmet Grilled Cheese** with date-maple-walnut spread offers complexity without the camel, or grab the **Freakin' Fantastic Fried Chicken Sandwich** with housemade Thai pickles and chipotle aioli. Everything comes with corn and fries, and portions are solid.
The setup is casual – just a food truck in Koloa where you can grab inventive eats without formal dining atmosphere. Chef Peterson occasionally rolls out special tasting menus featuring dishes like Charred Octopus and 48-Hour Short Rib if you want to go deeper.
Perfect for adventurous eaters seeking creative, high-quality food without resort pricing.
**Insider tip:** Save room for the Limebar dessert – housemade ice cream with bruleed banana and coconut that's engineered for impact.
**The takeaway:** This spot demonstrates what sets Kauaʻi's food scene apart – unexpected, creative, and genuinely delicious.
