Ramirez’s career with Taylor Hospitality’s parent company began at a country club, where he started as a prep staff member. His passion for food led him from line cook to Sous Chef, and now to Executive Chef. From Marshall, Virginia, Ramirez is known for his culinary creativity and commitment to excellence.
