Welcome and Pull Up a Chair

Foodie in Paradise™ Began with What’s on the Plate.

It Stayed for the Pride and People Behind it.

This isn’t a review site.

It isn’t a directory.

And it isn’t meant to be rushed.

Foodie in Paradise™ is built the way good meals are built — with respect for ingredients, attention to detail, and an understanding that what matters most often happens long before the plate reaches the table.

Some stories here are light and satisfying.

Others take time, patience, and a closer look.

You decide how far you go.

This site is layered by design.

Some pieces are meant to be enjoyed in a single sitting.

Others invite you to slow down and notice what’s usually invisible — the choices, the restraint, and the work that make something worth serving.

If you’re new, these entry points reflect how the table is set:

• Sip — wine, spirits, and the rituals that frame a good meal

• Savor — food, place, and moments that linger after the last bite

• Share — every story in order, just as they were served

• Service — the craft, discipline, and care that shape meaningful hospitality

• Source — deeper context, perspective, and ideas drawn from experience

• Dine — tables, rooms, and experiences worth paying attention to

• Finds — a small, considered collection of things that have earned their place in our kitchen

For those curious about what happens behind the scenes — the decisions, systems, and leadership that shape restaurants — that conversation begins on the About page and is explored through Lessons from Table 8.

Read at your own pace.

Follow what holds your interest.

Stay where something feels right.

Pull up a chair.

Pour yourself something you enjoy.

Stay awhile.

Paradise, after all, isn’t about abundance.

It’s about pride and care.
