Chef Stephen Thompson

For Chef Stephen Thompson, the art of preparing food is more than just a job or even a passion—it’s a way of life.  Thompson has spent almost his entire life in the kitchen, and this is where he feels the most at home.  “I don’t have any worries there,” he says.  “I just focus on what needs to be done.”

With a culinary degree from the Art Institute of Charleston and years of hands-on experience in a variety of different kitchens and atmospheres, he is excited to be the Executive Chef at Prohibition, where he has been able to really let his creativity shine.  Owners, James Walsh and John Teevan obviously know talent when they see it.  They did everyone a huge favor when they gave Thompson carte blanche to do whatever he felt inspired to do for their new menu.

Chef knew that great cuisine had to start from the roots—quite literally.  So, he went straight to his childhood friend and now farmer, Stephen Walters of Walters Farms.  It always helps to have a special relationship with the source of your main ingredients and these two are like peas in a pod when it comes to caring about great produce.  Walters personally grows and harvests everything on his 5-acre farm in Saint George, South Carolina, then makes the 45-minute drive to deliver it to Thompson.   The vegetables he picks in the morning are often found on a customer’s plate later the same day!

Food Truck Fees

In most instances there is a minimum charge of $1,500 for an event.  Total event cost will vary based on number of attendees, menu items selected and style of service.  Additionally, the following factors may increase the cost of an event: (1) our typical length of service is 3 hours not including set up and breakdown.  In the event we are required to arrive more than 45 minutes prior to service or stay more than 30 minutes after the end of service, an additional labor charge will be added; (2) If the venue has a long, narrow driveway without a spot to turn around at the service location, necessitating an exit by backing the truck up for a significant distance, an additional charge will be added; and (3) We have found certain venues to be inhospitable. Accordingly, we impose a $500 surcharge to serve at the following location: The Stables at Boals Farm.

Options

If you'd like to have Dashi at your event, but have another idea with regard to style of service or items to be served just let us know!  We will be happy to work with you to develop a menu specific to your event, and a level of service appropriate for your occasion and budget!

Deposit

A $300 deposit is required in order to hold a private event date.
