From Spear to Fork: Hawai'i Rooted

Описание: Isaac Bancaco is the Executive Chef at Ka'ana Kitchen, an opulent restaurant located within Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort.

At dawn, Isaac can be found spearfishing off the waters of Maui’s west shore. His purpose isn’t to take every fish he comes across but to take only what is needed to provide for those around him. His kuleana (responsibility) goes much deeper than his job. For him, his purpose is to responsibly source ingredients and to serve as the liaison between farmer, fisherman and resort guest.

Growing up in Maui, he was surrounded by great fishermen and cooks who helped cultivate his desire to become a chef. His grandma’s cooking was a fusion between Hawaiian and Filipino cuisine, inspiring him to always try new things in the kitchen. Isaac’s curiosity of her process is where he found the passion he shares with visitors and locals who come experience dining at the Andaz today.
