Some people chase fame, fortune, or Michelin stars.

Here, we chase something quieter — the moments that make a meal unforgettable.

The laughter after a long day. The late-night stories over one last drink.

The feeling of being exactly where you’re meant to be.

Foodie in Paradise™ is a culinary resource and lifestyle journal shaped by a life spent behind bars, in kitchens, and dining rooms.

It’s a place that celebrates food, wine, travel, culture, and the people who make every experience possible — the chefs who create, the farmers who nurture, and the fishermen whose early mornings bring the ocean’s bounty to the table.

From beachside poke bowls to candlelit tasting menus, every dish carries a story.

Some are simple. Some are spectacular. All are worth savoring.

After decades in hospitality, I’ve learned that the best meals aren’t defined by technique, or even presentation — they’re defined by how they make us feel.

My life’s work has been about shaping those moments of joy and connection, one guest and one experience at a time.

Here, we explore food not to impress, but to understand — to connect with the land, the culture, and each other.

Because in the end, it’s not the food that stays with us.

It’s the people.

It’s the conversations.

It’s the memories we carry long after the plates are cleared.

Pull up a chair and add your voice to Share — our community table where good food meets good company.

Mahalo for being here.

There’s always room for one more at the table.
