"Chef Dan" Saito is very versatile.From MOM and POP coffee shops to the number 1 Executive Chef Position in the World, Manele Bay Resort and Spa in Lanai (recognized as the top resort in the world".

As a Boy Scout has been recognized nationally. In San Diego during June July and August for 10 weeks to oversee the food program for Two Boy Scout Camps (Mataguay and Fiesta Island). Creates menus for Boy Scouts ranging from ages 14 to 18 years of age. With attention in addressing VEGAN, Gluten Free, and various dietary restrictions for the kids. . He is constantly in search of an opportunity to support his addiction and loyalty to my profession....FOOD! Not everything will be perfect or acceptable in the beginning of this endeavor. You need to know your clientel. Likes and Dislikes. What does one do if one person likes cheese and the other hates cheese. Before one starts to create one must know their guests/client. To address both likes and dislikes with one dish. That's where creating and product knowledge comes into place.. The ability to create food to be consumed. . Thus when it comes to Food You never know what one means by great Food...Good Food. My goal is to prepare dishes with VALUE. My wife will say at Home I have made some of the greatest dishes on the planet, and at her expense she has tried some of the worst creations! I am a realist.
