Meet Ben Pruner 👨🍳
We’re incredibly excited to welcome Ben to the Munchie Man family as our new Sous Chef!
A Sacramento native with deep roots in Davis, Ben is coming home to Northern California after several years in Portland, where he worked alongside fellow Sacramento native Casey Gipson at Migration Brewing, Pink Rabbit, Fools & Horses, and Dirty Pretty.
His path to the kitchen hasn’t been exactly traditional—but after years in inventory management and even building chemical hoses, Ben decided it was time to pursue what he really wanted to do: cook.
And honestly? We’re pretty damn happy he did. ❤️
When Ben isn’t in the kitchen, you can probably find him outdoors, staying active, or doing what might be his most important job of all: searching for the perfect taco. 🌮
Swipe through to get to know Ben a little better, and help us give him a big WELCOME HOME!
