Chef Kajioka’s final addition to The Pacific Plate culinary team is the masterful Chef Matt Lambert. His journey to culinary greatness began in New Zealand, where he apprenticed at his first restaurant as a 14-year-old. After training and climbing the ranks of several Michelin-starred restaurants, Lambert eventually opened the Musket Room in New York and earned a Michelin star himself. His cuisine is inspired in part by his home country and a proclivity to take risks in order to push culinary boundaries. #WeAreWard #WVPacificPlate
