About Our Chefs

Chef Happy Abdelbaki fell for cooking after reading a book on science as a kid. The science book was describing leavening, and his first thought was to jump into the kitchen and create a great pancake. Happy was hooked. He grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and worked with amazing mentors when entering the food world – Jamie Shannon (then the executive chef of Commander’s Palace), who taught Happy about quality, Susan Spicer, who taught him the importance of beauty on the plate, and Emeril Lagasse, who taught Happy about the business of food. Happy is the man behind the recipes of Sawyer & Co. restaurant in East Austin.

 

 

 

 

 

Richard Larsen is a young chef who hails from the greater Chicago area and moved to Austin for the sunny skies. His love of food first began at home, cooking with his mother.

Richard’s first job cooking was at Whole Foods in Austin where he garnered a love for fresh, local fare, and healthful foods. He later moved to ABGB where he learned to make the perfect pizza. He describes his cooking as being influenced by traditional Italian and Spanish flavors, and notes Alton Brown, and his study of the science behind food, as his inspiration.

When he isn’t in the kitchen Richard like to play disk golf, bike and travel.
