National Sourdough Bread Day is April 1. Whether you prefer eating slices of sourdough or eating the bread in sandwich form, here’s where you can go:
Rotating specials
Threadfin Bistro (1014 Kapahulu Ave.) offers a three-course prix fixe menu for $68. In addition, this Kapahulu eatery offers weekly specials.
On a recent visit, one of the featured specials was Iberico pork with sourdough bread from Breadshop in Kaimuki ($37). The dish included green peppercorn sauce, roasted peppers and toasted slices of sourdough.

Popular paninis
La Tour Cafe (various locations) offers a variety of sandwiches, smashburgers, melts and pizzas. Its delicious paninis are all served on sourdough bread.
Choose from turkey and sun-dried tomato; eggplant Parmesan; and chicken pesto ($14.50 each). The latter is my favorite and consists of grilled chicken, Swiss cheese, spinach and house pesto.

A bountiful harvest
Great Harvest Hawaii (various locations) is known for its assortment of sandwiches and breads, which are baked fresh daily. All of its sandwiches include a sourdough option; sourdough is baked daily at the business’s Kahala location.
A rye blend sourdough ($5.25-$8.60) is available Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for sandwiches at the Kahala location. The Kahala store also is featuring a sourdough roll stuffed with Asiago cheese ($4.06) as a special.
