![]() Shaun Garcia Chef de Cuisine |
Originally from Spartanburg, South Carolina, Shaun's interest in food began early; he practically grew up in the kitchen of his grandmother's restaurant. The family-owned establishment was famous for its fried chicken and peach cobbler, and Shaun spent his early years learning about the techniques that made these beloved dishes community favorites. Today as chef de cuisine at Soby's, Shaun takes that heartfelt flavor of authentic Southern cooking and adds fresh style for an unexpected dining experience. In 2010, he took his commitment to heirloom ingredients to the next level by establishing Soby's Farm at Dark Hollow, an ambitious project that raises produce from the Slow Foods Ark of Taste list for use in the restaurant.
