Facts about Chef Shawn

Chef Shawn Davis was given the nickname "Big Shake" when he was just 13 years old. As a dishwasher in a restaurant in Ocean Beach, New York, he had dreamed of finally making it on the cooking line. When his opportunity finally came, he was so nervous that he began to shake. In good fun the other cooks gave him the name "Big Shake.

Although much of his culinary influence came from his mother and grandmother growing up cooking in the kitchen with them, Chef Shawn actually got his professional start in an Italian restaurant off the coast of Long Island, New York where he worked and lived with the owner who taught him everything about the restaurant business and Sicilian food.

His mentor's name was Giovani Palmero

Besides creating food recipes, Chef Shawn's favorite thing to do is to spend time with his firstborn grandson. Baby D has Chef wrapped around his little finger!
