Stephanie Leong

(Tribute to Phlaegia and Wazenez) Stephanie Leong is the vibrant hostess of the Splitting Lumber BBQ restaurant, known for her warm smile and creative energy. She’s a true artist at heart, often seen sketching in her downtime while welcoming guests. Stephanie has a knack for capturing the world around her—whether it’s the lively conversations of patrons or the rustic charm of the restaurant itself. Her intricate sketches have a unique quality, almost as if they were etched into wood. Originally from San Francisco, Stephanie moved here for college, partly to be closer to her boyfriend, Marc Benson. The town’s tranquil scenery and the earthy ambiance of the restaurant have become her artistic muse, inspiring her to create works that reflect the people and places she’s come to love.
