NATHAN GUGGENHEIMER
OWNER / RINGLEADER OF GOOD TIMES

Chef Googs as he’s known, has traveled the world developing his culinary skills, working under Michelin-starred powerhouse chefs like Phil Howard and Daniel Boulud. He has opened numerous restaurants including the award-winning Ayden Kitchen & Bar in Saskatoon. Nathan landed on the East Coast as Director of Culinary for Oak Island Resort and to continue this beloved dining tradition at the OBF.

As his name suggests, he’s into German cuisine! Look for his big smile and little dog Eggs.

LISA LESCHHORN
SOCIAL MEDIA MAVEN
Silvio and Lisa have traveled around the world, working in wilderness lodges and remote campgrounds. In 2018 they returned to Germany where Silvio worked for a traditional German restaurant to improve his skills in German cuisine. In 2019 they moved to Canada, met Nathan and the rest is history!

DYLAN DEARING
SOUS CHEF
Dylan was raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He started as a dishwasher working for Nathan at Ayden Kitchen and Bar, and worked his way up. He then began his travels across Canada, working at Raymonds and The Merchant Tavern in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Maison Publique in Montreal.

Dylan isn’t afraid of bears, and if he ever came face-to-face with an angry bear, he’d probably fight it.
