Business Description

Maire Byrne was born in Los Angeles into a family of five brothers and sisters, where great food and family gatherings were dynamic and frequent. A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, Maire went on to work with culinary luminaries at various acclaimed restaurants in the United States, including Chez Panisse in Berkeley, The Ajax Tavern in Aspen, and Aqua in San Francisco. Nevertheless it was cooking alongside her mother in their family kitchen where Maire grew to understand and truly appreciate home-cooked food that inspires delicious memories, and launched her first catering company

In 2004, Maire opened Thyme Catering where she quickly found success in creating New American food to enhance unforgettable moments throughout Southern California. The popularity of Thyme Catering led her to expand the company and launch her first cafe and gourmet marketplace, Thyme Café & Market. Located in Santa Monica, California, the café offers fresh gourmet foods, delicious baked goods, and fine food to-go in a warm, charming and communal environment. In a few short years, Thyme Café & Market has quickly evolved into a must-visit destination that is filled with family, friends and familiar faces.

Maire's passion for travel led her to live and work throughout Europe, New York and San Francisco. Each experience has greatly influenced her culinary point of view and strengthened her belief that good food draws people together and creates memories. She intends to continue making delicious, lasting memories in Fall 2015 with the opening of her second restaurant, Local Kitchen & Wine Bar, a casual dining experience that will pair small plates with exceptional wines and beverages.

Maire Byrne and her husband Tim live in Los Angeles with their two daughters, 500 cookbooks and an endless supply of chocolate chip cookies.
