ABOUT TRACY RATHBUN
From waiting tables at The Lakeview Café in Austin to put herself through college, Tracy paid her dues and has evolved into one of the restaurant powerbrokers in Dallas-Fort Worth.
(Don’t ask her about that psychology degree from UT. It’s, um, complicated.)
Since moving to Dallas upon graduation and becoming Food & Beverage manager for the Hyatt Regency Hotel, she has carved out a career of more than 20 years in restaurant and hospitality management. Tracy is a previous co-founder of Shinsei and Lovers Seafood & Market, and is an avid art collector, philanthropist, and mother of two children.
Today, Tracy holds a commercial real estate license and works with a firm that specializes in commercial real estate.
Tracy grew up in Corsicana, TX, the fruitcake capital of the world. Fortunately, for patrons of Shinsei, her mother was into chocolate cake – which you can find on the dessert menu.
