Mala Ocean Tavern’s Executive Chef Kalei Ducheneau featured on Where Hawaii Eats! Anne Lee hosts special guests from all over the islands each week to learn about their experiences, and get some insight into Hawaii’s extraordinary food scene and culture.

Maui’s favorite restaurants Mala Ocean Tavern, Down The Hatch and Duckine have an all star line-up of Chef’s and they are all local born and raised. Making their community proud as Executive Chefs, these Lahainaluna graduates are creating a lot of buzz around the island.

With predecessor, local Chef Alvin Savella leaving Mala Ocean Tavern to start new sister restaurant Duckine, the MALA owners were able to turn to Sous Chef Kalei Ducheneau and Back of House Administrator Kate Ducheneau to maintain the quality and innovation that MALA has been known for.
