Grant Itomitsu on Culinary Institute of the Pacific, 80th Jubilee for KCC (2026) Hawaii Matters Kapiolani Community College HFWF
Guest Grant Itomitsu joined Kapiolani Community College in 2003, thanks to a phone call from the Culinary Arts department at KCC asking if he’d be interested in returning to the campus as an instructor. Since 2019, as KCC’s Culinary Arts Department Chair, he shares more on the Culinary Institute of the Pacific , the fundamentals in the kitchen, and how the Hawaii Food and Wine Festival helps new chef(s)-in-training get additional real world experience outside of the classroom. Also, did you know about the Food and Dining options at KCC (as of 2026)? Good stuff!
