Who We Are
Eight concepts. One Standard. No shortcuts.
Lush Life Hospitality Group is a boutique hospitality company founded by James Beard Award semi-finalist Chef Jesse Schenker and Claudia Taglich. Everything we build — from a fast-casual burger concept to a ten-seat tasting experience — is held to the same obsessive standard of craft, intention, and care.
Great hospitality is harder than it looks. It lives in the details — the food, the room, the way a guest is greeted, the moment they decide to come back. We built this company around getting those details right, across every concept, every night.
We also partner with developers, investors, and creative collaborators who want to build something real. If that's you, keep reading.

The right partner changes everything.
Great hospitality doesn't happen by accident. It happens when the right people commit to the right project with the right intention from day one. We partner with developers and investors who understand that — who see hospitality not as an amenity, but as the heart of what they're building. If that describes your project, we'd like to hear about it.
