An ongoing list of some of our favorite people.

Nobu Matsuhisa
Originally from Japan, Nobuyuki Matsuhisa, got his start as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Tokyo where he was trained as a Sushi master. After 7 years, he was invited by one of their best clients to open a Japanese restaurant in Peru. Unable to find the ingredients necessary to create many traditional dishes, he had to improvise, thereby creating his signature style. He moved to LA in 1977 where he worked at two Japanese restaurants prior to opening Matsuhisa where he was discovered by Robert DeNiro. The rest is history. Today, the company oversees approximately 40 restaurants and 15 hotels, including two very popular ones in Palm Beach.
