The Xpress Chefs team is lead by Director, Terry Leong, RD, Manager and Chef, Frank Chun and Chef Alan Cabebe. When the opportunity to help develop Xpress Chefs came along, they jumped at the chance to help make a difference in the community. Their team brings more than 75 years of combined culinary and catering expertise to the business.
Terry Leong is a Registered Dietitian with a Bachelors of Science in Food Science, Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of California, Berkley, with over 20 years experience as a Dietitian Consultant. Prior to coming to Xpress Chefs, she worked as an independent Dietitian Consultant for several local nursing homes on Oahu, and as the Food & Nutrition Manager at the Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific. Her driving passion for nutrition brought her to Xpress Chefs, where she oversees all areas of the operation and business development, to help meet the growing demand for healthier food services for not only Lanakila Meals on Wheels but for schools and care centers.
Xpress Chef Frank Chun had the pleasure of growing up in Hawaii, where there is an exciting diversity of ingredients and cuisines. He began his restaurant career in 1987 with the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Today, he is a guiding force for Xpress Chefs catering and meal service, creating nutritious and delicious recipes with fresh, local ingredients reflecting the diversity of the islands. His quest is inspired by the support provided to Lanakila Meals on Wheels which provides 28,000 meals every month for our senior citizens.
Xpress Chef Alan Cabebe was born and raised on the Island of Maui, where his desire to enhance his cooking repertoire took him to the Maui Community College Culinary Program. After completing his professional training, he became a cook at many of our famous hotels: Hotel Hana Maui, the Hyatt Regency and the Inter-Continental, to name a few. After his stint in the islands, he was called to Las Vegas, where he ran the famous Seafood Buffet at the RIO Hotel. He also served as Executive Chef at three fine dining restaurants. Now, with twenty plus years under his belt, he brings his creativity and his passion for cooking to Xpress Chefs. It is here where he shares his compassion for serving people in need in Hawaii.
