"Common Ground's skilled and passionate culinary team is dedicated to creating one of a kind experiential meals inspired by the Garden Isle. Working with exceptional growers, ranchers, makers and doers, we source our ingredients exclusively from Hawaii. Doing this allows us to offer cuisine that is unique, fresh, delicious and firmly rooted in this place." - Culinary Director Adam Watten

Meet Our Culinary Team
Expanding on the overwhelming success of our Farm & Food Experiences, Common Ground continues to grow their culinary team to offer custom event catering and private dining. We welcome Executive Chef Chris Ryan to reunite with Culinary and Food Systems Director Adam Watten. Previously, they collaborated at Hānai Market on Kauai where they developed a unique approach to innovating with Hawaii's bounty. They share a passion and dedication to designing one of a kind, creative and delicious culinary experiences. Adam and Chris look to demonstrate that we need look no further than these shores for extraordinary ingredients. These are the tastes and flavors that are sure to make any occasion memorable.
