There was a party Sunday night at Dave and Buster’s for 23 year old, Philip "Ippy" Aiona.
He is one of the remaining contestants in the popular TV show "Food Network Star."
Ippy is from Waimea on the Big Island and graduated from Hawai’i Preparatory Academy.
He grew up in the restaurant business. His parents own an Italian restaurant, Solimene’s, in Waimea.
Ippy says he loves bringing his Hawaiian and Italian cultures together to create dishes.
The winner of the show gets his or her own program on the Food Network.
The winner will be decided later this summer.
