In this week’s Business Member Spotlight and alongside the Culinary Experience happening May 11–17, we’re excited to feature @bouchonsantabarbara!
We connected with owner Mitchell Sjerven to learn more about the story behind Bouchon, hospitality, and Santa Barbara’s culinary scene.
Q: How did Bouchon get started, and what inspired you to create the restaurant?
A: My young man plan was to graduate the University of California, Santa Barbara, with an International Relations degree then head to law school. As great fortune would have it, working in the restaurant industry throughout my teen and young adult years clandestinely created an insatiable yearning for a future in hospitality. Once I completed my final semester abroad, working as an intern at the European Parliament for a UK human rights lawyer, my decision to create a restaurant experience that mirrored what I considered the best of the European tradition was cemented. Nothing beats gathering around the table with those you love to enjoy great food & wine. As a result, I founded bouchon in 1998 and never looked back.
Q: What can guests expect from Bouchon during the Culinary Experience week?
A: Our event is on Tuesday, May 12th and features a trio of farmers, bouchon Executive Chef Vicken Tavitian and a trio of Santa Barbara winemakers. Guests arrive at 6pm for an al fresco reception on our Terrace, where they’ll enjoy Farmers Market-inspired hors d’oeuvres with crisp summer white and sparkling wines, then retire to the main dining room for a multi-course dinner with wine pairings from Brewer-Clifton, Jaffurs and Margerum wineries.
Q: When you reflect on Bouchon’s journey so far, what are you most proud of?
A: The relationships we’ve enjoyed with both guests and staff. Earlier you asked about hospitality, what it means to me personally, and I would say, in equal measure, enjoying the love of both guests and staff, is what matters at the end of the day.
Bouchon is featured in the Chamber’s Hospitality Campaign highlighting Maya Ulloa’s hospitality journey. Also featured in our #somuchtolovesb campaign
