Sous Chef

Here at Persepshen, we believe Mother Nature knows best. That food from the earth trumps food from a lab. The simplicity of cooking local ingredients over an open fire will never disappoint. Nourishing food tastes good. Tail-to-snout butchery is not cliché, rather it is our sustainable choice.

Supporting local artisans and craftsmen is our only choice, by choice. Simple is good. Local, organic farmers are the backbone of a sustainable future.
