Chef Ronnie Nasuti of Tiki's Grill & Bar joined Hi NOW and their host Kainoa Carlson in their studio kitchen to talk about Al Fresco dining.

Al fresco dining or dining alfresco is eating outside. In temperate climates, al fresco dining is especially popular in the summer months when temperatures and weather are most favorable. It is a style of dining that is casual and often party-like in its atmosphere.[1]

"Cooking with gas here. The instant gratification is to be able to turn on a grill inside your house!" shared Chef Ronnie during his cooking segment.

You can grab any fish, but Chef Ronnie loves cooking with Opah (known as Moonfish). Read more about that here.
