Aloha, my friends. My name is Patrick Dufer, and I am the owner of Hualālai Catering. Born and raised in the Midwest, I moved to the Big Island in 2014. I've been in the hospitality industry for a shade over twenty-two years. During this time, I've held several positions ranging from service, executive management, banquets, and catering to kitchen production in a high-volume hotel setting. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2008, I decided to get a formal education in Culinary Arts. Since then, I haven't looked back. All I do is cook, eat, study, and travel.
I've made the pilgrimage to the following food destinations, which include: Atlanta, Bangkok, Baton Rouge, Chicago, D.C., Detroit, Honolulu, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Louisville, Madison, Manila, Memphis, Milwaukee, Napa Valley, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, San Juan, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Tokyo, and Vancouver. I learn as much as I can about food while building my repertoire.
Complete silence at the table, cleared plates, happiness, and gratitude for the service we provide speak volumes for what we do. We shoot for that every time. I'll gladly share my personal experiences with you through our food. We surround ourselves with good people, and you'll certainly feel & taste the difference with Hualālai Catering.
