Executive Chef Hanin Completed Continuing Education Training In Japan

Chef Hanin is constantly pursing continuing educational training. About this, he recently said:

There are still moments of imposter syndrome, where I look around and wonder how I ended up here - but I think that's what keeps me grounded. It reminds me to stay a student, to keep learning, and to approach every service with humility, said Hanin. My time in Japan taught me "ichigo ichie"- one time, one meeting - the idea that every guest, every meal, and every shared moment is unique and fleeting. I try to carry that into everything I do, in and out of the kitchen.I'm humbled, honored, and deeply thankful to be part of this community.こころからありがとうございます thank you from the heart, said Hanin.
