We are deeply saddened, shocked, and completely heartbroken to hear of the sudden passing of Chef Yannick Doth, Executive Chef at JO2. Chef Yannick was the most talented, creative, innovative and the best Chef on Kauai, but even more importantly, a GREAT HUMAN! Kevin worked with Chef weekly on many a custom Gelato creation and loved and respected him so much!! Chef was one of his favorite people and JO2 was definitely his favorite restaurant!! We were honored to be featured on his menu. Our many tears, thoughts, andprayers are with his dear family, staff, and friends. To say that he will be missed is a severe understatement. Take your rest now, Chef. You hustled harder than most every single day! 💕 💔
