Timirie Shibley is the Co-Owner and Co-Creator (along with her husband, Patrick) of Doo-Dah Diner in Wichita, KS. Timbre has been a foodie since the age of 2. She worked in sales and customer service for many years until she and her husband met in their mid-40s.

Doo-Dah Diner has been going ever since (11 years and counting!).
