The small island of Lanai is where it started for Chef Adam Tabura. At 17 years old and with the dream to become a chef, he saved a man’s life from drowning in Manele Bay. The grateful man helped Adam achieve his dream by sending him to culinary school.
Chef Adam made the most of this opportunity, going on to become an executive chef for some of Hawaiʻi’s top resorts and restaurants, Food Network show winner, cookbook author, entrepreneur and celebrity chef with over 28 years of culinary experience.
