Top Chef Bio
Ryan zeroed in on his desire to be a chef at the early age of nine when the "toys" at the top of his Christmas list included kitchen utensils, a wok and food dehydrator.
Growing up in the Central Valley of California he developed a passion for the culinary arts that has led to a very successful career spanning both coasts.
His talent for creating simple, healthy and delicious Mediterranean and French-influenced cuisine draws long lines and wide acclaim at Myth Cafe in San Francisco, where he has been chef since 2005.
Ryan strongly believes in "giving back" as much as possible and works extensively with Bay Area community organisations.
This fall, he led a team of over 30 volunteers in his first "Thanksgiving Bag Lunch Giveaway," which involved creating 1,000 bag lunches - from scratch - for people in need.
