About Us

Chef Ben is a classically trained Cordon Bleu chef graduating from the Californian Culinary Academy in 2004. He then started his catering company, Food with Shein, which has taken him across the San Francisco Bay area, catering for clients from all walks of life, at a variety of occasions. 

Chef Ben has devised unique menus and taste sensations for a wealth of occasions such as private events from 7 course plated private winemaker tasting dinners, to corporate parties on Chartered yachts and family style weddings. He's also catered NASCAR events, Marin film festival, Healdsburg Jazz Festival and much more. Contact Ben via the Food with Shein website to enquire about catering your next event. 

One thing he’s learned is a good table condiment can be your best friend when wanting to add flavor and complexity to a dish. When Chef Ben lived in Hawaii, he fell in love with this classic Polynesian table condiment that he’s now honored to make for your home table. Enjoy the heat. Mahalo!
