Meet The Team
Richard Polhemus
Executive ChefChef Richard Polhemus joined the Hualalai culinary team in 2020, quickly adapting to the role of advancing the Resort's extensive hyper-local culinary philosophy. The close relationship of the Resort with the many farmers on Hawaii Island, as well as the flourishing Hualalai garden program, allows Chef Polhemus to tap into his passion for incorporating local, seasonal ingredients into his cuisine.
“My entire career has been grounded in a farm-to-table approach, I’ve always let nature and seasonality guide the creation of my menus."
Kalani Garcia
Executive Sous ChefBorn and raised in Maui, Chef Kalani Garcia started his career at the Hali‘imaile General Store before joining Four Seasons 16 years ago. Chef Garcia has experimented with both sweet and savory local ingredients in his positions at Four Seasons, developing the signature desserts and breads our guests can't stop talking about.
“One of my favourite ingredients to work with is Ulu (breadfruit), a staple of Hawaiian diet. I love challenging myself to create breads and desserts using Ulu flour, which is something our guests have rarely experienced.”
