Craig Connole, the Executive Chef for K'ya Restaurant and Bar in Anaheim and Laguna Beach, has amassed a host of accolades in recognition of his back-of-the-house culinary experience. But awards are hardly Connole's main concern. From his first professionally prepared dish, an orange-shoyu caramelized salmon, to his downright decadent everyday fare at K'ya, for Connole, it's always been about the cuisine. His philosophy is simple; let the food speak for itself, combining high-quality ingredients in new ways to create exciting, visually appealing entrees.
