PHILADELPHIA, PA - (JULY 17, 2023) – After nearly five years of leadership as Feast Your Eyes Catering’s General Manager and then CEO, Anthony Lehman has officially taken over as Owner of the company effective May 10, 2023. This transition follows the retirement of Skip Schwarzman and Lynn Buono, the husband-wife duo and founders of Feast Your Eyes Catering.
Anthony brings more than two decades of experience in the customer service and hospitality industries. His varied background includes hotel and restaurant management, concert and venue operations, national event production, and multiday large-scale events attended by thousands. Anthony started with Feast Your Eyes Catering in the fall of 2018, with a focus on streamlining operations, improving company culture, and driving business growth.
Over the last five years Anthony made his mark on Feast and the catering community by strengthening team and partner collaborations, maneuvering through the challenges brought on by the pandemic, and setting Feast on an incredible growth trajectory to outpace its previous multi-million dollar success. His next step, as owner, is to build Feast as the leader in custom-made culinary experiences for the Philadelphia region. To get there, Anthony plans to continue to forge strong partnerships with the industry community, like he has with Lynn and Skip, and with the at-large community.
“I am excited to carry on the values, practices, and kindness Lynn and Skip have fostered in their many years in business,” said Anthony. “This is just the beginning of Feast Your Eyes’ new chapter, and I look forward to turning the page on the next four decades and beyond with our wonderful team of talented professionals.”
“Everything about passing the Feast Your Eyes baton to such a passionate team feels great,” said Lynn Buono. “The culinary journey we’ve charted to today has featured so much exploration and creativity, and I’m proud of Feast's innovation and commitment to excellence. Anthony is the right person to shepherd the company into the future.”
“From a storefront in South Philly to Northern Liberties, and then to Front & Palmer, it was time for Lynn and I to move on,” said Skip Schwarzman. “We didn’t get here alone, and after 40 years, there are many folks who’ve been a part of Feast's successes. We’re proud of the food, design, and hospitality we’ve provided, and of the top shelf talent Anthony is leading with the same dedication.”
