Sam Choy's in the Kitchen: Cooking Sustainably with Empowered Hawaii
Cooking outdoors with a battery-powered generator and an induction stovetop, they show how it's possible to prepare delicious meals using renewable energy with no gas or traditional electricity required. It's a fun and practical way to highlight sustainable living without sacrificing flavor or convenience.
First up on the menu is a refreshing green papaya shrimp ceviche, made with just-picked green papaya from the farm, local shrimp, citrus, and farm-fresh herbs. It's light, zesty, and perfect for a warm day on the North Shore.
Next, Sam prepares a Hawaiian favorite: chicken luau. The luau is cooked on the induction stove by browning chicken thigh with butter and onions, adding chicken stock, coconut milk and folding in cooked luau leaves, and seasoned with salt and sugar.
Finally, they whip up a colorful and hearty ratatouille, using sweet corn, long beans, onions eggplant, bok choy, cacao nibs, tomatoes, and bell peppers harvested straight from the fields. Cooked with garlic, butter, olive oil and Clos Du Bois chardonnay, this classic dish becomes a celebration of Hawaii-grown vegetables at their peak.
Throughout the episode, Kelly and Jeff share insights into clean energy, sustainable farming, and the importance of supporting local agriculture. With the beauty of Kahuku Farms as the backdrop, this episode is a feast for the senses and a reminder of how delicious sustainability can be.

New ‘Project Runway' judge Law Roach shares his thoughts on criticism, plus what to stream this weekend
Welcome to Screen Gab, the newsletter for everyone who likes a dramatic comeback. Remember when Heidi Klum drilled into our reality TV heads that, in fashion, one day you're in, and the next day you're out? Well, even she knows the past can come back in style. After a 16-season run on 'Project Runway' as host and judge, Klum departed the fashion competition series in 2018 and, along with the show's original mentor Tim Gunn, went on to create 'Making the Cut,' their version of a fashion tournament for Prime Video that ran for three seasons. (Model Karlie Kloss assumed Klum's 'Project Runway' duties in subsequent seasons.) Now, as 'Project Runway' launches its 21st season, moving homes yet again (to Freeform from Bravo), Klum brings the nostalgia factor to the show's revamping, which includes the addition of super stylist Law Roach to the judges panel. Roach stopped by Guest Spot to discuss joining the ranks of the long-running reality competition. Also in this week's Screen Gab, our streaming recommendations include an illuminating documentary that explains how 'The Ed Sullivan Show' amplified Black music and culture, and a collection of '90s films that defined an era through their soundtracks. Must-read stories you might have missed For Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán, 'Wednesday' proves 'weird is beautiful': The actors return for Season 2 of Netflix's hit YA series, which brings Gomez and Morticia Addams into focus. 'Chief of War' centers Hawaiian history and a warrior's story: Co-creator Jason Momoa stars as the late 18th century warrior Ka'iana in a story set at the intersection of the Hawaiian island kingdoms and the arrival of European colonists. Go behind the scenes with the 'Alien: Earth' cast at Comic-Con 2025: Watch our exclusive follow-along with the cast of FX's 'Alien: Earth' cast at San Diego Comic-Con as they sign autographs, visit the show's immersive activation and more. As AI changes how movies are made, Hollywood crews ask: What's left for us?: AI is supplying powerful new tools at a fraction of the cost, forcing below-the-line artists to wonder if the future of filmmaking has a place for them. Recommendations from the film and TV experts at The Times 'Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan' (Netflix) Ed Sullivan was so famous, such an institution in his time, that his name became the text of a number in the musical 'Bye Bye, Birdie.' It's been half a century since 'The Ed Sullivan Show' ended its 24-season run, but Sullivan, who gave Elvis Presley a platform and introduced the Beatles to America, will be seen as long as they continue to matter, which is to say, forever. The 'Untold' in Sacha Jenkins' affecting documentary is the show's history with the many Black artists it presented to an audience of many millions, through years in which television networks bowed to the bigotry of what it called the Southern audience. Yet even had you taken Black acts on 'Sullivan' for granted, the extent of the host's progressivism might come as surprise. Those sharing memories include the late Harry Belafonte, Smokey Robinson and the Temptations' Otis Williams; seen in performance are Stevie Wonder, Jackie Wilson, Bo Diddley, James Brown, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson and the Jackson 5, in all their youthful glory. — Robert Lloyd '90s Soundtrack Movies (Criterion Channel) Now they exist as relics: banged-up soundtrack cassettes that slid around in the passenger side of everyone's cars. But we all listened to them and in many cases, they ended up being more memorable than the films themselves. A lot of good was done when acts like U2, Talking Heads, Depeche Mode and Nick Cave lent their drawing power to director Wim Wenders' mystifying 1991 sci-fi art thinker 'Until the End of the World.' The songs were an adventure (though I couldn't quote you a single line from the script). More substantially, Jim Jarmusch introduced his fan base to Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, who contributed a superb head-bobbing soundtrack to 1999's 'Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai,' proving there was plenty of crossover between Soho and Shaolin. David Lynch, always plugged in musically, drew from David Bowie's underrated 'Outside' album for the white-line opening credits of 1997's 'Lost Highway.' And even when Bowie wasn't game — as with the bio-in-all-but-name 'Velvet Goldmine' — an inventive glam-saturated soundtrack could carry the day. Criterion's new series is programming you can play in the background and still enjoy. — Joshua Rothkopf A weekly chat with actors, writers, directors and more about what they're working on — and what they're watching As one of Hollywood's biggest stylists and image architects, Law Roach has bolstered the fashion profile of stars like Zendaya, Hunter Schafer and Anya Taylor-Joy and set the tone for every red carpet he's touched with his viral styling choices. Now, he's bringing his unparalleled fashion sense to the judge's panel of 'Project Runway.' The new season premiered Thursday on Freeform with two episodes; it will air weekly and also stream on Hulu and Disney+. Roach stopped by Screen Gab to discuss his feelings on constructive criticism, the fictional character he'd like to style and what he's watching. — Yvonne Villarreal As a creative in the fashion world, is 'Project Runway' a show you watched at any point over its run? What value did you see in it and how do you hope your involvement elevates the show? Yes, I watched it religiously, of course. The season that Christian won is hands down still my favorite. I think it gave me an inside look at an industry that I was craving to be a part of. I think my real-world experience and passion will come through not only to the viewers but also to the contestants. You bring a bold and direct feedback style to the judges panel from the start. How do you prefer to receive feedback on your work and when do you trust it? Criticism is a part of every job. I think it is important to hear it and if it fits you or can help you grow, take it in, and learn from it, but if it doesn't, ignore it. As a stylist and image architect, which fictional character of TV or film — past or present — would you most like to create a fashion profile for? Jessica Rabbit because we only got to see her in one look! What's your go-to 'comfort watch,' the film or TV show you return to again and again? 'Top Chef' [Peacock] or any cooking competition show. I love food and witnessing the thought that goes into making the food.

Why Kevin James doubted pal Ray Romano's ‘Everybody Loves Raymond' would work
Everybody loved Raymond — Kevin James, not so much. The comedian and actor admitted he initially had doubts about his friend Ray Romano's sitcom during the July 28 episode of 'Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson.' 'The fact that he got a show… I couldn't believe it because he's such a low-energy guy,' James, 60, said. 'Sitcom guys were, to me, like the big, wacky [characters]. I'm like this — this is death. It's not going to happen.' Advertisement 7 Kevin James and Ray Romano at the 'Everybody Loves Raymond' 100th episode party. FilmMagic, Inc Turns out, the 'Grown Ups' actor underestimated his buddy. 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' which premiered on September 14, 1996, on CBS, ran for nine seasons until 2005. Advertisement The sitcom starred Romano as the title character, Ray Barone, alongside Patricia Heaton as Deborah Barone, Brad Garrett as Robert Barone and the late Peter Boyle and the late Doris Robert as Ray's parents, Frank and Marie. 7 Ray Romano as Ray Barone in 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection 7 Patrica Heaton as Debra Barone and the late Doris Roberts as Marie Barone in 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection The series earned 15 Emmys out of 69 nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series in 2003 and 2005. Advertisement Just last month, the show was honored with a special exhibit at the Paley Museum in New York City in celebration of its 30th anniversary next year. It wasn't until James' own sitcom, 'The King of Queens,' premiered on the same network two years later that he fully grasped the scale of 'Everybody Loves Raymond's' success. 7 'The King of Queens' premiered on CBS two years after 'Everybody Loves Raymond,' in 1998. ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection 7 Kevin James as Doug Heffernan and Leah Remini as his wife Carrie in 'The King of Queens.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 'The first few years of going with Ray — even when our shows came out, we'd go to the same CBS functions and things like that,' James recalled. 'Red carpet things were so rough because they knew him, but my show had just come out… so they're taking a thousand pictures of Ray.' He remembered 'kind of standing there and nothing's clicking.' When he tried to step closer to Romano, the photographers asked for Romano alone. 'It was tough,' James added. Still, 'The King of Queens' went on to enjoy its own success, running for nine seasons until 2007. The series starred James as Doug Heffernan, Leah Remini as his wife Carrie and the late Jerry Stiller as Arthur Spooner. James' performance even earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in 2006. 7 Ray Romano and Kevin James know each other from their stand-up days. WireImage 7 Ray Romano guest-starred on Kevin James' sitcom 'Kevin Can Wait' in 2016. CBS via Getty Images The 'Zookeeper' star, who knew Romano from their stand-up days, said he 'learned everything from Ray on how to do a sitcom' — especially how to tone down a scene when the moment called for it. 'He was so good on his sitcom, and the way he threw things away — I was like, 'Wow, I have to watch him and learn from him, because I'm going to be too big on camera,' James shared. 'So even in 'The King of Queens,' when I see episodes now, I'm like, 'Gee, throw it away, kid.' I'm like, 'Gee whiz. I wish I could go back and redo it.'' Advertisement Romano and James also found success in film, with Romano lending his voice to Manny in the 'Ice Age' franchise, and James starring in hits like 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop' and 'Here Comes the Boom.' The two appeared together on screen when Romano guest-starred on James' sitcom 'Kevin Can Wait' in 2016.

I know what I went through when we edited it.'
