San Juan Pasta Company recently hired Tim Bair as their Executive Chef. Bair brings sixteen years of culinary experience to the company including the Seasons of Maine in Bangor, Maine as well as two years at Commander’s Palace in New Orleans, Louisiana.
“Tim represents the next phase of our company’s growth,” said Angel Michaels, CEO. “His ability to execute our current recipes in addition to helping develop new products enables us to diversify our product line as we continue to grow.”
Not only does Bair know his way around a kitchen, he needs no map for the San Juan Islands. He was raised on San Juan Island and graduated from Friday Harbor High School in 2002. He knew early on that food was his passion and he left the island to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
Now a well-traveled chef, Bair has returned to his roots on San Juan Island. “The San Juan Islands are held in high regard among foodies and travelers alike,” says Bair. “I’m excited to rejoin the islands’ culinary family and to be an integral part of San Juan Pasta Company.”
Since 2010 San Juan Pasta Company has provided the island communities on with fresh pasta, crackers, sauces and pasta-related products. Their product line features many locally-produced ingredients.
All of their products are made from “clean,” fresh ingredients including some integral components being grown in the San Juan Island Community Garden. Many of their flours are organically grown and are produced using sustainable farming methods.
Their products are served at several restaurants on San Juan and Orcas Islands and are also available at King’s Market, Roche Harbor Grocery, Spring Street Deli, San Juan Island Co-Op, San Juan Island Cheese Shop, and San Juan Vineyards. They’re also available at the San Juan Island Farmer’s Market on Saturdays.
