Echo & Rig is more than a steakhouse—it’s a community-driven team dedicated to creating exceptional culinary experiences while making a meaningful impact beyond the kitchen. Since its founding in 2013, owner Chef Sam Marvin and the Echo & Rig team have been defined by their passion, collaboration, and commitment to excellence. This ethos extends not only to their expertly crafted dishes and thoughtfully sourced ingredients but also to their unwavering support for causes that matter.

The heart of Echo & Rig lies in its team, many of whom have been with the company for years, including Sam’s sister, Sheryl Best, Director of Guest Relations, whose personal connection to type 1 diabetes helped to fuel Echo & Rig’s commitment to supporting Breakthrough T1D. With this shared commitment, the team embodies a vision of hospitality and community engagement. Their dedication is evident in their longstanding support for Breakthrough T1D, contributing time, talents, and resources to fundraising events like Cork & Soul and the Hope Gala. Whether hosting VIP experiences or donating auction packages, Team Echo & Rig exemplifies the spirit of giving back. Together, they create more than meals—they craft moments that matter and make a difference in the lives of those they serve.

We celebrate Team Echo & Rig’s commitment to our T1D community and to our shared vision where no one must face the challenges of this difficult disease.
