Shabbang is inspired by Mexican cuisine, the universal language of laughter and the Okanagan’s laid-back, friendly vibe. Founders Shane King and Kelly Ross’ goal is to allow those disenchanted, famished bellies of the world to be satisfied through all the senses – sight, aroma, taste, texture (and laughter) - and to create tantalizing flavor combinations that make your taste buds scream SHABBANG! BANG-UP JOBS Born in Vernon, BC, Shane comes to the food truck scene with over 20 years of experience working in fine restaurants, distinguished catering outfits, exclusive resorts, and major hotel chains. After opening the award-winning contemporary Mexican restaurant, El Santo, Shane most recently worked as Chef for Cirque du Soleil in Vancouver. Kelly grew up in Vancouver and has always been a foodie. With experience in a variety of vocations in the food and beverage industry, professional photography, marketing, communications, and event management, Kelly brings with her many talents to the food truck arena. Most recently Kelly worked as Marketing, Communications and Event Manager for the Vancouver-based Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies where she headed up marketing, design, and managed key company events. THE BIG BANG After meeting while working together at a remote fishing resort in Haida Gwaii, BC in 2001, Shane and Kelly soon discovered they had the same thirst for exploring food, travel, and music. They began travelling the world together for nearly a decade, scoping out the vast array of traditional cuisines and the most forward-thinking trends. Before relocating to the Okanagan in 2018, Kelly and Shane were in Vancouver, where the dream of running a food truck began… THE WHOLE SHABBANG Shabbang was born in Summer 2018, bringing the Okanagan handmade curbside eats. All ingredients are locally sourced, made fresh, change with the season, and are never pre-packaged. Shabbang Catering dishes up options for all your catering needs. Learn more at shabbang.com
