ShakAZ Grindz LLC

 I had the honor of entering the 2nd Annual Poke Wars contest held out in Scottsdale. It was an experience of a lifetime! Went in it with nothing to lose, and came out with a whole lot of knowledge and appreciation for the culinary world of which I knew nothing about. For the most part, all the other chefs were open to sharing ideas and respected my amateur status. I also got to connect with a bunch of other local vendors and community members. Mahalo to the event organizers for this opportunity! I’ll be back again!🤙🏻

 Mahalo to Charis from 808 Social AZ and Alena from Designs and Signs for allowing me to be a judge at this first annual contest. Was so much fun getting to taste such creative local spam dishes and to also judge alongside some prominent members of our community. I officially hold da title of ‘SOMEBODY’ now in Arizona! 😂😂😂🤙🏻Mahalo and let’s do it again, please! Charis Brown, owner of 808 Social AZ and event organizer. 

 Our Tahitian Blue tank tops were a hit!  Let’s try the black, now. The logo really pops on this! DM me your orders. $25 with proceeds benefiting JDRF.

 Our latest addition to our all-star lineup. Wifey and kids been eating this forever so when the opportunity presented itself, we pitched the sale to 808 Social as they’re looking for breakfast items to go along with their coffee creations. Made one pan for them and it sold out, even if it took the weekend to do so. We’re confident that word will get out how ono it really is and makes a perfect Shaka compliment with any breakfast beverage….COFFEE!🤙🏻

More stuff we're doing to spread the A-L-O-H-A! Our logo was kinda cool so we thought we'd make it available for sale to our friends and family. We can't ship our food, but we will ship our merch! Let us know if you’re interested. Shipping out of state can expect an additional $10 or more.

 When we first started our business, we weren’t taking it seriously at all. It kinda hit us when, for fun, we asked our cousin Garrin Yabuta for assistance in designing a logo. Knowing once we got that established, then it’ll start to get REAL! 😂 And so it flourish into the coolest design ever. The design and colors were out together like a masterpiece of art. Though it might look simple, there’s a bunch of hidden meanings behind it. And they are: The teal color comes from my favorite team the Miami Dolphins The tan color represents the earthy desert feel of our new homeland  The Shaka hand represents the Aloha that is being shared with the people of Arizona  The name ShakAZ was thought of at the spur of the moment. It pays homage to both where we come from as well as our new home, Arizona. And it’s the coolest play on words, don’t you think! And Grindz of course is for the comfort food products we offer.  The bolts permeating out of the word ‘ShakAZ’ below it symbo...
