Canteen is back and better than ever, and their new Los Angeles studio takeover here at Thunder in STAGE 19 officially opened on June 15th. Their “fantasy lab” will be a place to play, experiment, and pioneer new ways to make food look fabulous and beverages breathtaking. Equipped with a SISU C-20 motion control robot, special effects capabilities, in-house high speed camera + access to a 40’x16′ curved digital wall, we are ready for anything that you can dream up.

With Canteen’s relaunch, they’re starting the Canteen Think Tank Series. Their first meeting will take place in our studio on June 26th and will be an opportunity for food and beverage creatives in the LA area to meet new colleagues, enjoy some good eats, and get creative. They’ll discuss how we are collectively setting post pandemic trends and how we can shape the future of our Think Tank. Email @canteen_works if you’d like to join!

#MeetTheTeam

This month we introduce our team: Nathan Shanahan, Craft Service Manager

“When not working you can find me escaping to nature for a long hike in the Sequoias, a horseback ride through the mountains, or on a camping trip with my partner Matt. I grew up in northern Minnesota and the forest will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m an avid gardener with over 50 houseplants and love to grow my own food that I use to cook meals, I’m always trying out new recipes. I worked in fine dining for over six years where I discovered my passion for customer service at restaurants such as The Bachelor Farmer in Minnesota, and The Nomad Hotel in Los Angeles. I was an events Captain at The Nomad where I managed a team of servers and loved taking on a leadership role. More recently I’ve worked for interior designers in the Hollywood scene where I got to utilize my creativity and manage interior and landscape design projects. Working at Thunder Studios has allowed me to merge my passions for creativity, customer service, and food!”
