The team behind Marination ma kai, Marination Station and Marination Mobile, the Seattle-based Hawaiian-Korean food truck named America’s Best Food Truck by Good Morning America viewers, are pleased to welcome Chef Angie Roberts to lead their culinary team. Chef Roberts will provide company wide leadership, develop a larger catering menu of diverse offerings for all occasions, and create a summer events series at Marination Ma Kai in West Seattle, including luau’s, barbeques overlooking the Puget Sound, and other special events.

“Angie is the ideal addition to the Marination team,” says Kamala Saxton, Marination’s co-founder. “We love that she has such deep roots in Seattle, that she’s filled with positive energy and enthusiasm for good food, and that she’s all about the ALOHA! We’re excited about where she will take Marination in 2014 and beyond.”
