His  journey took him to great culinary destinations in France, including the Rhone,Valley, the Loire Valley, Toulouse and Burgundy. In Bordeaux, he had the opportunity to learn from one of the masters, famed Chefs, Michel Portos.

At Asana, Boutin incorporates fresh, seasonal New England ingredients that are locally harvested to create both perfected American, and deliciously authentic Asian dishes. For Boutin, the goal is not to fuse these two great cuisines, but to perfect each one.
