Peter Foster's passion for the culinary arts began at the age of 15, when he was working as a dishwasher in a restaurant in his home- town, Los Gatos, California. Inspired by that passion, he attended the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York.

After graduation, Peter was recruited by a German firm, Zihoga, to work in the kitchen of St. Peter, a restaurant located in a small wine growing valley south of Cologne. While he was there, the restaurant earned its second Michelin star. Peter has worked under world class chefs in New York, San Francisco, Europe, and here in Hawaii. From all this experience, he knows that he can never stop learning and expanding his vision of the culinary arts.
