Acclaimed local chefs are heading back to where it all began — Leeward Community College — for an unforgettable night of food and flavor.

On Saturday, May 10, Leeward CC’s on-campus fine dining restaurant, The Pearl, will transform into a vibrant showcase of dishes featuring signature creations from culinary arts faculty and standout alumni from some of Hawai‘i’s top kitchens. The menu at this one-night-only, grazing-style event is inspired by each chef’s culinary beginnings at the college — from mushroom toast, cured salmon gravlax, ube cheesecake, and more. Attendees can also enjoy live jazz music by Noel Okimoto & Dean Taba while they dine.

Featured chefs include:
Jasmyne Wood of Arden Waikīkī
Eric Oto of Kanpai Sushi Hawai‘i
Maribeth Ganiron of The Pacific Club
Shaden Sato of Halekulani Hotel
