Born and raised in Lima, Peru, Chef Diego Oka decided to attend culinary school on a whim. A chance encounter in a supermarket with chef extraordinaire Gaston Acurio sparked the start of an incredible career.
As South Floridians, we are fortunate to have Chef Diego Oka as one of our top talents. His passion for Miami knows no bounds. With a decade of experience as the Executive Chef at the Mandarin Oriental’s La Mar restaurant, he is now embarking on a new passion project. In this latest podcast episode, we delve into Amano by Oka, revisit Diego’s culinary journey, and discover what is next for our beloved La Mar—even as the hotel makes way for new high-rise residences. Hint: this is not a final goodbye!
