Our Story

Founded by Seth Stowaway, Chef and Owner of Michelin-starred Osito, The Same Sun was born from the challenges of running a restaurant in San Francisco. Seth envisioned a future where operators, instead of waiting for change, unite to reshape the industry—transforming the model from isolated struggles to shared success.
