CHEF WILL ONO
Born in Colombia to Colombian and Japanese parents, Will was exposed to various foods at an early age, sparking his interest for quality and tradition. After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu, he began his culinary career as a chef de partie at Cafe Boulud in Palm Beach, FL. Wanting to improve upon his culinary skills, Chef Will struck off to learn from some of the best chefs and restaurants in the world, including Azurmendi (3 Michelin Stars) in Spain, Noma (3 Michelin Stars) and Relae (1 Michelin Star) in Denmark, and The Mark and The Clocktower (1 Michelin Star) in New York. He currently works as a private chef.
