  1. Greg was an amazing person and an amazing chef. His ability to excel while mentoring others shows what an unselfish and confident person he was. In the midst of all that he always had time for his customers too. Gone way too soon, and will be greatly missed. Prayers for his family.

  2. Sad for his passing. I will always remember elements as probably the first upscale restaurant that I learned to appreciate as a young adult.

  3. Oh wow! This is awful. I remember him from way back when he used to customize my sushi rolls at Kona Jacks. I was excited to be one of the first patrons of H2O when he opened it and have always thought so fondly of him. He was a kind, creative funny person and though I hadnt kept up with his most recent ventures, this is a great loss.

  4. Dear IBJ. Could you please have an editor review your headlines in the daily email? It appeared upon first reading that Jonathan Brooks was getting a new job because of Hardesty’s loss. Seriously, do you even pay attention to what you write?

  5. Greg was a treasure in our city. He could take a few ingredients and turn a simple dish into something stellar. He was a culinary magician and will truly be missed.
