PRAISE FOR RYAN RONDENO AND MY CREOLE-CALI KITCHEN"Ryan Rondeno is an exceptional chef and his food is delicious. Watching him cook during the event I hosted was very inspiring. His service is extraordinary and everyone at my event was extremely impressed with the flavors and the high quality of the food. I highly recommend this chef who works magic when he cooks." -- Martín Rodríguez, award-winning actor & star of Netflix's Griselda

"Chef Ryan shows up with a few coolers, disappears into the kitchen, and shortly thereafter produces a feast. Course after course, each finer than the last. I thought he had a team at work but it was just Ryan, making magic." -- Caroline Frost, award-winning author of The Last Verse

"The Chef Ryan experience is not just fine dining at its best--it's a dive into the tastes and traditions of our past, with a modern-day twist. I am proud to be from a Southern Black family, owners of the legendary Harlem soul food eatery, Sylvia's Restaurant, and I have longed for the authentic dishes of my childhood here in Southern California. I need look no further. Chef Ryan's artistry exceeded my expectations. Every bite was a blast from my past as well as an introduction to new, succulent flavors. Bravo and thank you, Chef! I'm now a huge fan." -- Denise Woods, author, producer, and renowned Hollywood dialect coach
