Born in Townsend, Montana and raised primarily in Indonesia, Eli Anderson has travelled extensively, developing his palate from a very young age.  He received his Culinary Degree with High Honors during his four years living in Portland, Oregon.  

Across his career, he’s has worked for a number of renowned chefs such as Nancy Silverton, Thomas Keller and Davide Oldani and also has international experience working in Hong Kong, Italy, Sweden, Brazil and Mexico.   

He loves the pureness of Italian cuisine and believes in accentuating the natural beauty and flavours of food without too much manipulation, something he shares with one of his biggest mentors, Nancy Silverton.

Outside of the kitchen, he is a sport fishing fanatic and his pursuit has landed him many trophies, both freshwater and saltwater.  During his tenure in southern California, Anderson conducted expeditions on long range sportfishing boats that often lasted up to 12 days and covered more than 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometres) of travel.  

His travels have taken him throughout Europe, Southeast Asia and North America and he is happy to explore new destinations with his wife and daughter from his new home base in Hawaii.
