Shawnanigans LLC was founded in 2018 by a husband and wife who had a dream to provide quality food and hospitality to their community through custom catering services. It has since grown into a family of brands that continue to focus on Engaging People, Embracing Life, and Eating Well.
Shawnanigans LLC is owned & operated by Shawn and Carrie Bianchini, who met in a restaurant kitchen and have been partners in life and business ever since.
SHAWN, CHEF/OWNER
Shawn has worn many hats over the years in the restaurant industry from fast food to fine dining and the casual dining options in between. He has spent years studying and tuning his craft and he now focuses his energy on his brands with Shawnanigans LLC. Shawn has a passion for making fresh, delicious food while staying focused on providing allergen friendly options so everyone is included in eating well. His number one priority is that every time you order from a Shawnanigans brand you’re experiencing a quality that you can’t find anywhere else!
CARRIE, HOSPITALITY COORDINATOR/OWNER
Carrie is Shawn’s partner in everything, including their businesses. She has a professional background as a licensed mental health therapist who cares most about engaging with people and creating a positive customer experience.
