KEAKA LEE
Keaka is a local boy, born in Honolulu, Hawai’i. He received his culinary and pastry arts degrees from the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Kapiolani Community College in 2009. Cooking is a forever changing art that he has grown to love and appreciate.
Keaka has worked for 3660 on the Rise & Alan Wong’s Restaurant in Honolulu. He continued his training and completed stage-internships at Benu in San Francisco, Le Bernardin in New York City, Eleven Madison Park in NYC, & Café Boulud in NYC. He moved to New York City to work for Michael Anthony at Gramercy Tavern, Untitled Restaurant and Studio Cafe at the Whitney Museum. He returned home to join the Pig & the Lady restaurant as the Chef de Cuisine. He reconnected with the local farming community and learned more about Vietnamese sensibility. He combined what he learned in New York City with the fast-growing interest in Vietnamese fusion cuisine.
Keaka uses the unique cultures of the Hawaiian Islands as inspiration to develop his craft. Hawai’i is a melting pot of Pacific and Asian influences that pushes him to expand his palate and challenge his creativity. His style of cuisine revolves around the community.
