Shawn Lipenski formed his palate for fine cuisine and food cart fare during his college days in New York City. He believes that great food inspires thoughtful conversation and strives to bring the best of both to your table. Shawn’s culinary adventures through Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, Costa Rica, Mexico and most of the continental United States inform his taste for bold flavors and playful presentation. Shawn volunteers his talents for several charitable organizations and spends his free time growing heirloom tomatoes in his tiny backyard garden.
