“As a chef, how can I make
an impact on the global
climate crises?”
— Nae Ogawa, Executive Chef
She creates dishes that proactively contribute to the bettering of this planet and––Hawaii in particular––with the goal of convincing her audience to do the same. “I have a deep respect for the native community and hope they feel that the respect for Hawaii and its people are conveyed in my dishes.”
