ABOUT US
Executive Chef Ricky Cheramie
​
Chef Ricky spent his formative years hunting and fishing in the bayous of South Louisiana in Lafourche Parish. Many of his summers were spent working for the family business, trawling for shrimp in the Gulf of Mexico. Inspired by his love for art and food, Chef Ricky moved to the vibrant city of New Orleans in pursuit of the culinary arts.
Chef Ricky honed his culinary skills in some of New Orleans’s top restaurants, including K-Paul’s, Emeril’s, and Commander’s Palace. He was also influenced by his time spent cooking in Boston and Maine, including a stint at the renowned Grill 23.
His contemporary Creole cuisine style features a perfect balance of fresh flavors and world influences, all while being strongly rooted in the Cajun cuisine and culture he grew up with.
Chef Ricky Cheramie’s food has received accolades from local food reviewers, as well as national sources. It’s a pleasure to find food as well crafted as his, even in New Orleans – a city well renowned for its food.
