Chef Ryan Murphy

Personal Chef In Concord

I am a professional chef working in the Charlotte area with a background in French and Italian fine dining. I enjoy utilizing local products from the Carolinas and distilling them into something special. I believe food should be minimally processed or fussy. It should be intense, but unobtrusive when enjoying it with others. Eating and enjoying food should be something that enhances our sense of community and comfort.

For me, cooking is...

The cornerstone of culture and our relationships. We are able to share, feel, and create through food when we’re with those we care about the most.

I learned to cook at...

I was trained in French and Italian fine dining, with a focus in pasta and bread making. I continue to study different cuisines to enhance my own.

A cooking secret...

I rely on high quality ingredients without distractions or gimmicks. Intensity, simplicity, and focus are the main goals in mind when creating a dish.
