Sunday Brunch Maui Tweetup At Whole Foods Kahului

Slow Food Maui’s Dania Katz organized a “tweetup” at Whole Foods Kahului this morning. What’s a tweetup? That’s where Twitter users (or “tweeters,” or “twits”) “meet up” IRL (“In Real Life”) to socialize, network and sometimes promote a venue.

Whole Foods Maui is now offering Sunday brunch from 8:00 a.m. to noon, featuring whatever’s on your plate for $7.99 a pound. Slow Food doesn’t get any better than this.
