Kai Allaman

My name is Kai Allaman, at the moment, I am a traveling chef. I sailed across the Atlantic from America to study the different culinary traditions and cultures throughout the Mediterranean Sea in order to learn flavors and techniques from around the world. I am doing this to become a more versatile and well-rounded chef, with hopes of opening my own restaurant eventually. I am an enthusiastic, young, and ambitious sous chef, eager to develop high-quality and unique dishes for new and established restaurants. Reliable, hardworking, and driven to give guests top-quality food while maintaining food safety practices. I love to make unique, delicious dishes and work to create culinary components that have never been seen before. I have strong communication and interpersonal skills, and I can speak both English and Spanish. I am creative and dedicated to staying up-to-date with food trends, with a good understanding of a seamless dining experience. I am a very organized and passionate chef, excited to secure a job and absorb/learn as much as I can about Portuguese culinary traditions.
