Thanks to his gourmand Mom, David grew up in Los Angeles eating cioppino and bouillabaisse and sipping Bordeaux. A future in food was born! At just 9 years old, David started working in the famed City Bakery in Ventura, CA where he learned to make scratch dough, using natural yeast and beautiful technique. He was hooked!

Ryan is inspired by nose to tail preparations and traditional styles of cooking that allow flavors to shine as nature intended. He is deeply committed to partnering with local producers knowing that they provide the very best product available.
