OUR TEAM
Solomon Rust, Owner
Growing up in Jackson county, Solomon has seen Seymour grow and evolve alongside its annual Oktoberfest. After tracing his family roots, he started to realize the strong connection Jackson County has with Germany, but didn’t see it in his everyday life. Wanting to learn more, he visited the original Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. This trip sealed the deal: a German restaurant is just what Seymour needs!
Chelsi Tangman, Head Chef
Also hailing from Seymour, Chelsi has been competitively cooking since the age of 15. She proved her talents at the College of Culinary Arts at Johnson & Wales University, where she graduated in 2011 from the Advanced Standing Program for Applied Science in Culinary Arts. Chelsi then took her talents to Farm Restaurant in Bloomington, IN, where she started as Brunch Sauté Cook, and quickly moved to Event Chef, Sous Chef, and Head of Pastry. Chef Chelsi has a talent for creating allergy and dietary restriction friendly dishes that never sacrifice flavor or proper classical cuisine techniques.
Randall Rust, General Manager
Moving to Jackson County in 2015 was an easy change for Randall, coming from her nearby hometown of Columbus, Indiana. She quickly finished her Bachelor’s Degree of Business Management from IU, and has been gaining experience ever since. Her desire to find the perfect fit in life, from Nanny and Teacher’s Assistant to HR and Purchasing, has finally brought her to a role where she can do it all. Randall is a true “momma bear”, and will do anything she can to help out - even if that means keeping everyone in line!
