In this episode of FEAST: Dish & Dialogue, leaders across hospitality, development, and culinary come together to explore how dining experiences shape destination identity.

Moderated by Sean Dee, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of OUTRIGGER Hospitality Group, the panel features Serge Krivatsy (Kamehameha Schools), Alana Kobayashi-Pakala (Kobayashi Group), Roy Yamaguchi (Roy Yamaguchi Group of Restaurants), and Dylan Ching (TS Restaurants).

Together, they discuss how restaurants and culinary experiences can do more than serve guests—they can define place, attract high-value visitors, and create meaningful connections to local culture and agriculture. From resort development to chef-driven concepts, the conversation highlights how intentional dining can elevate the visitor experience while supporting local communities.

Recorded live at the FEAST Summit during the Hawai‘i Food & Wine Festival, this episode explores how culinary has become a cornerstone of real estate development—and a powerful driver of how people experience a destination.
