Jonathan Pasion
Chef de Cuisine
Jonathan Pasion’s culinary career began at home, inspired by his Filipino parents and their love and respect for tradition. The Maui native has fond memories of learning about delicious down-home cooking with his family in Pā‘ia. His style combines the flavors of his heritage with knowledge gained through his education at Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts in Providence, Rhode Island, and working at such venerable establishments there as Waterman Grille and Gracie’s Fine Dining. Pasion brings his sweet “local boy” attitude and superb skills to the table at Ka‘ana Kitchen, where he’ll showcase his passion for local ingredients combined with modern cooking techniques.
Throughout the year, the ʻAipono Winemaker’s Dinner Series brings the industry’s top winemakers to ʻAipono award-winning restaurants. Dinners are intimate and educational, with the direction of Advanced Sommelier Charles Fredy of Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants and personal appearances by winery owners and/or representatives.
