Chef-driven restaurants, culinary markets, and hospitality development.
Lush Life Hospitality Group is a chef‑driven hospitality company based on Long Island’s North Shore, developing, operating and managing a growing portfolio of restaurants, culinary markets, and hospitality experiences for both its own portfolio and collaborative partners.
Founded by restaurateurs Chef Jesse Schenker and Claudia Taglich, the group brings together culinary ambition, thoughtful design, and a deeply personal approach to hospitality.
Each Lush Life concept is unique in style and spirit—from refined dining rooms and intimate chef’s counters to neighborhood restaurants and culinary markets—but all share a commitment to thoughtful cooking, warm service, and spaces designed to bring people together.
Beyond its own restaurants, Lush Life also provides hospitality development and management expertise, guiding projects from early concept through design, construction, financial planning, and operational leadership.
Read MoreAt Lush Life Hospitality Group, hospitality is not defined by format.
Our work spans neighborhood restaurants, chef‑driven tasting experiences, cafés, gourmet markets, private culinary events, retail products, and hospitality consulting. Whether serving a cheeseburger, producing a multi‑course tasting menu, operating a café, or overseeing the development of a new hospitality project, the philosophy guiding our work remains the same.
We understand the realities of everyday life and the expectations guests carry with them when they choose where to spend their time.
For this reason, our teams place enormous energy into what we call the recovery paradox—the belief that the true strength of a hospitality organization is defined not only by flawless execution, but by how thoughtfully and consistently we respond to every guest experience.
Hospitality is revealed in the moments that matter most.
