Aloha, my name is Dale.

And I love food.

I’ve always enjoyed dining out and trying new restaurants. However, my real passion for food started around 2009 when I had my first true “tasting menu” experience. This dinner, all those years ago, opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. I realized at that dinner that there were so many flavors, ingredients, and culinary techniques that I had yet to experience.

Over the past decade I’ve been fortunate to travel and experience a broader spectrum of food from humble markets in Peru to the most renowned Michelin Star kitchens in Japan. I have a secondary passion for travel, which is driven primarily by my desire to experience new flavors and cuisines around the world.

It is my goal to chronicle some of my more notable meals here. For a look into my travels or my day-to-day eats please check out my Instagram page.

Thanks for stopping by!
