I was curious about the responses you were going to get from this topic.
It's been an interesting read, so far.

In Hawaii if you order "plate lunch" you get two scoops rice, macaroni salad
and whatever meat you decide; kalbi ribs, shoyu chicken, chicken katzu, etc.
In any case, macaroni salad is *always* there. Sometimes it's potato-mac
salad, but the mac is there every time.

Based upon all the responses I've read, Ward Abbott's "Carla's Macaroni
Salad" sounds pretty much like what you get in most restaurants in Hawaii.
Lots of mayo, slight tang, peppers, carrots... it's got to be the one.

Mac salad is an absolute staple in the islands.
