Chef Shawn Naputi was born and raised on Guam. After graduating high school, he followed his passion by attending the California Culinary Academy of San Francisco. During and after culinary school, he worked for some of SF’s best restaurants including Incanto and Foreign Cinema. In 2014, he was given an opportunity to follow his dream of opening up his very own Chamorro restaurant, Prubechu on 24th and Mission, with business partner Shawn Camacho. After a brief stint of having to close in 2019, they found their permanent location on 18th and Mission and have been sharing their culture through the love of their food.
