Corporate Chef Amiko Gubbins

Amiko Gubbins' culinary career began by watching her traditional Japanese mother in the kitchen-- but her formal training first took life in La Jolla under Ulf Anders and William Gustaf, who she credits for cultivating her immense appreciation for food and quality ingredients. After spending time in the kitchens of Cilantros and Pacifica Del Mar, Gubbins served as Executive Chef of Cafe Japengo where she took home the award for Best Asian for eight years. Soon after, she branched out on her own as chef and owner of the critically acclaimed Parallel 33 in San Diego's Mission Hills neighborhood. During her time there, Amiko earned numerous awards including, Best Asian, Best Ethnic, Best Fusion and the prestigious Gold Medallion Award for "Chef of the Year". After her time at Parallel 33, Amiko went to work as the personal chef for music icon Lenny Kravitz before working with Specialty Produce where she selected the freshest produce from the Santa Monica Farmers Market for daily use by local chefs. Most recently, Amiko served as Executive Chef for Sysco San Diego where she brought her culinary experience to the company's vast restaurant base. In her spare time Amiko practices yoga, surfs and performs in the Encinitas Guitar Orchestra.
