Chef Phillip Frankland Lee, Scratch Restaurants
Scratch Restaurants is a concept from Chef Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee, who brought to life their dedication to the artisanal “from scratch” approach to hospitality. Chef Phillip will join Ulu’s Chef De Cuisine Nuri Piccio, as they present a selection of signature dishes for an exciting omakase collaboration. Combining ingredients, both local and Japanese, with traditional preparations and a touch of the modern, courses will transition from an array of otsumami (small dishes) to sushi. The omakase experience is a multi-coursed meal that is a contemporary and reflective experience on the Big Island.
