Meet Evan Tsuchiyama
Pursuing a culinary arts degree.
Evan finds food fascinating and delights in the act of cooking. He explains that "Food is everywhere with incredible variations in styles, creations, flavors and the art of preparing food is ever evolving." Thus, it is no wonder that he is enrolled in the culinary arts program at Kapiolani Community College (KCC) this fall. Evan learned from his first mentorship position at Y. Hata, working alongside the head chef in the test kitchen, how to influence others by catering to their needs. Then, through his next mentorship position at Ryan's, he decided that despite the demanding and fast pace environment of the kitchen, he wanted to pursue culinary school. Evan's dad, who is currently a culinary professor at KCC, is supportive of his desires to pursue the food industry, but insists that Evan follow his own dreams. In the future, look for Evan as a guest chef at Assets' Illumination event!
