Introduction

I am a classically trained chef and have been in the industry for over 30 years. I specialize in private or corporate events of all sizes, private cooking classes or craft cocktails courtesy of KC Cocktail Co. I am also a ServSafe certified instructor so safety is always top-priority . If you want to be a guest at your next event, want a private cooking lesson, need a specific weekly meal plan for yourself or a loved-one or your restaurant needs consultation- I can help. I also have much experience with special nutritional needs, allergens and custom dietary requests. I’ve been doing this my entire life - I’m your guy

We hired Ryan for my husbands 40th bday, and he did NOT disappoint! The food was amazing! We have friends who can really put down some food and everyone was stuffed! He showed those interested how to make homemade pasta, was very interactive when the group wanted to be and carried on in the background when we were in our own world. This was our first experience with a private chef and I would 100% recommend trying this out!! Our entire group really enjoyed the experience! Thanks Ryan & Jenna!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • American - formal • Italian • Asian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Ryan prepared a wonderful dinner for 5 couples, our closest friends in celebration of my wife’s 50th birthday. Chef was very responsive and worked with me on the menu, signature cocktail and wine paring. He and Maddie did an exceptional job the evening of the event and we couldn’t be happier with how the night went. We highly Chef Ryan!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As a default - I’m probably not the cheapest and prefer working with high-end ingredients. . . But I am also very proficient in budget planning and have had tons of experience creatively bridging the gaps between what my clients would like and what their budgets will allow. I will always give you a straight and honest answer. Just ask!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to get to know as much as possible about my clients. What they prefer, but more importantly what they do not care for. I really like repeat clients with whom I know preferences well. I always want to create an experience that will not be forgotten
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been in this industry for 31 years
