Realizing that there was a vast market for his succulent beef burger alternative, Shawn transitioned back into the food industry full-time and formed CBS Foods Incorporated in 2007.
In May of 2011 Shawn appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank, giving his shrimp burgers and the company national exposure. ABC has since re-aired his episode 5 times further igniting consumer brand recognition. In September of 2011 the show’s producers filmed a follow-up segment on Shawn’s success that aired in 2012.
Today, Shawn continues to be involved with every aspect of CBS Foods Inc. including sales, supplier negotiations, product development, trade shows and of course, cooking. Since the company’s inception, the product line has grown to include the following Shrimp Burger flavors: Original, Teriyaki, Chesapeake, Jalapeno and Cajun. CBS Foods also produces a Veggie burger and Lobster Mac-n-Cheese.
