Meet The Chef
Lawrence W. Yeargin, III
A native of Greenville, Chef Lawrence W. Yeargin, III (“Tripp”) was reared in a food-loving family, with down-home Southern cooks, caterers and restaurateurs. His early career was spent learning traditional French and other European cuisines and techniques at several fine restaurants in Greenville and Charleston. He then moved west to Santa Fe where he expanded his repertoire to include southwestern and traditional New Mexican fare. Next he moved to New York City where he excelled at Picholine, one of the city’s top Mediterranean restaurants. Shortly after getting married, he embarked on a three-year international sojourn, making homes in Singapore then Zurich, and traveling to many destinations in south Asia and Europe all the while. His passion for food is reflected in the myriad recipes and techniques he picked up along the way, always with an eye toward the authentic foods that typify the local cuisine and culture. All these influences are reflected in the menus of The Bohemian, with the best in classic and comfort food, and an exciting array of international and exotic dishes.
