About

Plate Lunch Digest was born from a simple frustration: keeping up with Hawaii news meant juggling a dozen different sources every morning. We built this digest because we wanted something better — a single, well-curated briefing that covers what matters without the noise.

Every day, we read through Hawaii News Now, Civil Beat, Pacific Business News, the Star-Advertiser, and more so you don't have to. We distill the most important stories into a quick read that respects your time.

The name? It's a nod to Hawaii's most iconic meal — diverse ingredients, brought together on one plate. That's what we do with news. Business, real estate, energy, tourism — all in one place, every morning.
