People Make the Difference
Our Team:
Aaron Hansen, Chef
Aaron Hansen’s culinary passion was sparked at 15 when his mom brought him into the deli where she worked, thinking a dishwashing gig might steer him away from a restaurant career. Instead, it ignited a lifelong love for cooking. From fast food joints to fine dining, Aaron explored nearly every role in the kitchen, each step refining his craft. His time at Flatwater and later as sous chef at Beholder, alongside Jonathan Brooks and Lone Pine’s Josh Mazanowski, helped him develop his signature style—thoughtful, ingredient-driven dishes with a creative twist. After a deep dive into the seafood-rich cuisine of Maine, Aaron is back home, excited to bring his journey full circle at Lone Pine, where every dish is crafted with passion and precision.
Josh Mazanowski, Owner & Sommelier
Josh Mazanowski grew up knowing that great food and warm hospitality were at the heart of every gathering—thanks to his mom’s knack for feeding their bustling family of sixteen. His culinary path led him from Indianapolis to Seattle, where he soaked up a decade of vibrant dining culture. Returning home, he opened Beholder, earning national acclaim for its food and wine. Now, Josh is bringing that same passion to Lone Pine, named after Lonepine, MT, where his family raises Red Angus and Wagyu hybrids. At Lone Pine, Josh blends his love for exceptional food, carefully curated wines, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or just looking for a great steak, Lone Pine is the place to gather, relax, and enjoy.
