The Minnesota Star Tribune Highlights Upcoming & Recent Shea-designed Restaurants

The Star Tribune showcased the fall restaurant openings their most excited about, which included both Bellecour locations and Animales. A longtime partner of Chef Gavin Kaysen, Shea designed the two upcoming Bellecour spaces with Gavin and his team. Shea also partnered with chef/owner Jon Wipfli to help bring Animales to life in its first brick-and-mortar space.
