Ryan Shaughnessy is the founder and 100% owner of Fine Thyme Food, a Limited Liability Company. Ryan is a veteran of the restaurant industry with 12 years of experience cooking, managing, and serving. During his career in the kitchen he had the opportunity to work under renowned french chef Gregoire Jacquet. He opened his eyes to the world of culinary possibilities and taught me the importance of quality ingredients. Since then he has had the opportunity to work and manage in some of the most respected restaurants in Lawrence, Kansas: Free State Brewery, Zen Zero, Milton's, Paisano's, Mirth Cafe and The Merc, to name a few. (Yes I know all their secrets.) I have also assisted in opening two very successful eateries, Local Burger and Terrebonne Cafe. Over the last year Ryan has been working for Liz Karr as head chef for her catering company and Phi Delta Theta.
