In July 2020, The Mill House Restaurant announced it would be closed until further notice. Not one to hang up his hat, executive chef Taylor Ponte, Maui Nō Ka ‘Oi’s 2020 Chef of the Year, grabbed Natasha Joslin, the senior sales and events manager at Mill House (and his BFF and partner), and went rogue. They created a new catering venture called Kamado, a business offering private dinners and pop-ups.
