Who Is Michael Symon’s Wife Liz Shanahan & How Long Have They Been Married?
Her specific year of birth is unknown, but Liz Shanahan is believed to have been born sometime in the 60s, on the 30th of March, somewhere in Georgia in the US. Unlike her husband whose background is very much in the open, Liz’s background is shrouded in mystery, with facts about her parents, and education unknown.
However, we know that Liz Shanahan’s relationship with food did not begin with Michael Symon. It did when she began cooking at a young age, joining the food industry as a restaurant staff after she left high school.
Her career journey in the restaurant world took her from one restaurant to the other, until it took her to the one her current husband, Michael Symon worked.
Aside from the romantic relationship that developed from working together, they ventured into business together, starting up Liz Shanahan’s career as a restauranteur. Together, the business partners opened their first restaurant in 1997, in Cleveland’s Tremont, which they named Lola.
Their first venture together was a success, enough to get them featured in Gourmet Magazine in October 2000, earning them the title of one of America’s Best Restaurants. Following the success of their first venture, Liz Shanahan and her husband/business partner expanded their portfolio of restaurants with Lolita, which was also located in Cleveland.
Although Lolita is no longer in existence, the partners’ portfolio still includes other restaurants like Bar Symon, Roast, Mabel’s BBQ, and B Spot.
Outside of her partnership with Michael Symon, Liz Shanahan also runs her own restaurant management business, which has earned her a considerable net worth.
