I just read in the Maui News that Chef David Paul Johnson, who sold the restaurant still bearing his name in Lahaina last year, will be the "guest" chef at the Ritz-Carlton Kapalua's Anuenue Room through January 5 which coincides with the Mercedes Golf Championship that ends January 6.

The Ritz also has a new chef at their Banyan Tree restaurant, Robert Ciborowski, who comes to the Ritz from the famed French Laundry restaurant in Napa Valley and was a protege of UberChef Thomas Keller.
