Zak Barry (center), founder and owner of Banan, a food truck business in Honolulu, stands with partners Matt Hong (left) and Luke Untermann. Zak emails, “Banan also is the name of our novel product, a dairy-free base of bananas blended to a soft-serve consistency. We add other fruits and spices to Banan and serve it in cups, bowls, or a real papaya ‘boat.’ We also offer coldpressed juices and locally grown teas, including one made from Hawaiian awa root and mixed with coconut milk and chai spices. Besides sourcing our produce locally and composting our food waste, we are raising awareness about sustainability on the islands.”
