ABOUT SHAWN FRALIN
I’m a Private Chef, Executive Chef, and global culinary storyteller with more than 20 years of experience serving UHNW families, luxury residences, and high-profile clients. My background blends private‑household service, fine‑dining technique, and luxury‑hospitality leadership, including my role as Executive Chef & F&B Director at The Ritz‑Carlton Residences in Miami Beach.My culinary perspective is shaped by extensive global travel 20+ countries and hundreds of cities — where I’ve studied regional cuisines, markets, and cultural food traditions firsthand. I’ve visited vineyards across France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Germany, South Africa, Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Australia, and California, tasting boutique and heritage wines to deepen my understanding of terroir and pairing. I’ve also explored regional craft beer cultures worldwide, expanding my palate and approach to flavor.As the founder of Rakkasan Chef, I create personalized dining experiences that reflect each client’s lifestyle, preferences, and wellness goals. Whether preparing multi‑course tasting menus, wellness‑focused programs, or family‑style comfort dishes, I bring a balance of creativity, discipline, and cultural authenticity to every meal.Beyond private service, I’m a presenter, lecturer, author, and on‑air culinary personality, featured on Food Network, MTV, TLC, and Fine Living TV. I’ve co‑authored a cookbook with the American Diabetes Association, led culinary workshops, and served as a guest judge and speaker at Le Cordon Bleu.At my core, I believe food should tell a story one that honors culture, celebrates craftsmanship, and creates connection. I bring this philosophy into every household, event, and kitchen I serve.
