Jesse Wykle: Aloha Snacks

It did not take long for Jesse Wykle and his restaurant Aloha
Snacks to make an impact in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Months
after he opened Aloha Snacks in 2018, Food Network Star Bobby
Flay's producers called and invited Wykle onto the hit show "Beat
Bobby Flay."


Wykle defeated the Iron Chef by challenging Bobby Flay in a
battle over the Filipino favorite lumpia.


Back home in Virginia Beach, Wykle's food at Aloha Snacks is
heavily influenced by Asian and Hawaiian cuisine and his own
Southern roots. 


"You can put anything in a sushi roll. We've got some poke bowls
with fried green tomatoes, which we call the farmer's poke, a
little coconut aoli, some pressed mango, and some salmon," Wykle
said about one of the dishes he serves at Aloha Snacks in
Virginia Beach.


Wykle sits on boards working to improve the Virginia Beach
business community and hopes to see many new customers when the
Something in the Water festival returns to Virginia Beach April
28 thru April 30.


Aloha Snacks is located at 501 Laskin Road in Virginia Beach,
Virginia.
