Christopher Texeira Appointed Executive Chef at Nobu Lana'i Four Seasons Resort Lana'i
Executive Chef Christopher "Tex" Texeira brings over 15 years of culinary experience to Nobu Lana`i,
located at the AAA Five Diamond Four Seasons Resort Lana'i, jumping
right into the culinary world after high school and attending the KCC
Culinary Arts Program on Oahu.
Texeira is well versed in Nobu philosophy and style, working in the
kitchens at Nobu Waikiki before heading to
Lana`i to help open the
resort's restaurant in 2012. He ultimately returned to Lana`i in 2013,
eager to enjoy the island's peaceful quietness and become a member of
its close-knit community.
As Executive Chef, he will oversee all the restaurant's operations; Nobu Lanai features a sushi bar and Teppan tables as well as seating overlooking the beautiful Hulopo'e Bay.
Apart from his dedication to the culinary arts, Texeira is an avid outdoorsman, particularly camping and hunting, and is eager to incorporate Lana`i venison into signature dishes. Born and raised on Kailua on Oahu, Texiera lives on Lana`i with his fiance Erika and the couple look forward to celebrating their nuptials in the coming year.
