Ladies and gentlemen,
Good day! High spirits!
Hey, how ya doing? My name is Ryan: cook, food lover, artist, gardener, happy Earth Day! Culinary extraordinaire. Born and raise in New Orleans, LA, USA. Chances are, if y'all have questions about New Orleans and southern cuisine, I have an answer, but hopefully not. (Alligators, beignets, snoballs, Jazz Fest food, Holy Trinity, Paul Prudhomme, John Besh, N all that jazz.)
I cook professionally, chef at a very popular neighborhood cafe. I allways cook. The lines blur. I aspire to open a restaurant with my brother, soon. Small brunch joint, vrrrry nice My neighbor and I have chickens, rabbits, and a huge garden. We grow tons of our foods. This year especially looking forward to all the peppers: Serrano, Cayenne, Paprika, Padron, and more heat! Cooking with chilies will change your life. O ya, huuuuge ice cream/gelato/frozen-treat lover, maker, aficionado. Just spun a lovely spearmint gelato (from happy cows!) served with fresh sliced Louisiana strawberries - for a gal whose heart I'm trying to win over.
My old neighbors call me "Young Pup." I do have a ton to learn. I admit I am a young egg. It takes a lifetime and then some to reach fullness as a cook. So, I'm here to share my knowledge and learn more from y'all on our journey.
Allright, take it EZ.
Respectfully,
Ryan
