Shaun King was named executive chef of The Dawson in late 2014. His cooking, inspired by American Regional cuisine, uses bright, fresh ingredients to create dishes that are full of flavor.
Raised on the central coast of California, King took an avid interest in cooking from a young age. His love of seafood played a large part in deciding to become trained by a Japanese master chef, his childhood friend's grandfather. It was through this experience, King learned to appreciate the bold, yet subtle flavors of Japanese cuisine, as well as the disciplined seasonality each plate presented.
