Originally from State College, PA, he has called Atlanta home for the last 10 years. After Penn State University and The Culinary Institute of America, Ryan received his degree in 2000 and was drawn to Atlanta by a fellow chef. Ryan has a sincere fondness for the history and traditions of the Southeast.
Born in Munich, Germany. Eric spent his youth between Germany and Dayton, OH as a USAF “brat.” Since beginning culinary school in Atlanta in 2004, he has worked with Richard Blais and Kevin Rathbun. After 2 years at Brick Store Pub, Eric took the lead at LEONs Full Service in 2009.
Known for its ample belly “aka the best bacon hog” the Tamworth displays a firm trim jowl and underline with muscular hams. The Tamworth has a reddish coat, muscular top and rounded back. Succulent roast flavor overall when crossed with the Berkshire because of its intramuscular marbling.
The modern Yorkshire white in color, with erect ears, and is the most recorded swine breed in the United States. It is very muscular, with a high proportion of lean meat and low backfat, in addition to being very sound and durable on pasture.
Originating from England, the Gloucestershire Old Spot is a critically rare breed. Nicknamed “orchard pig”, the Old Spot is white with black spots, has floppy ears and a medium-sized body. Known for its higher fat ratio while remaining hardy with flavorful meat which has a distinctive layer of back fat, adding to the succulent flavor overall.
Red Wattle gets its name from its red color and thefleshy skin that hangs under its jowls. This extremely rare breed adapts to climates well and is an excellent forager. It is prized for its tender meat and splendid hams. Red Wattle pork is lean and juicy with a rich beef-like taste and texture.
Berkshire is the most popular heritage breed, yielding a brighter pork than most, and features a thick, delicious fat cap. The meat is sweet and creamy with hints of nuttiness.
Originated from the blending of two strains of hogs from New Jersey and New York in 1830. Duroc is high in marbling (small flecks of fat within the muscle) making its spareribs and shoulder roasts sweet & juicy.
Whitney trained under two James Beard Award winning chefs, Hugh Acheson and Lipton Hopkins. She has worked as Executive Chef at Cumberland Island’s Greyfield Inn, appeared on Top Chef Texas and won a Star Chefs’ Rising Star Chef Award in 2012. She is Executive Chef at Farm 255 in Athens.
Originally from Atlanta, Guy studied in Japan for one year before opening a Japanese Izakaya. Influenced by his parents who were both Chinese Chefs, self-taugth Guy loves cooking because it changes people’s lives. He loves the hard work, mostly because at the end of the day, honest work feels right.
“Muss,” as he’s known, is a CIA-trained chef seriously passionate about sourcing real food. From crawling on his belly in the forest foraging morel mushrooms to breaking down whole hogs and creating culinary delight. These guys won Cochon Heritage BBQ in 2012, a national event featuring top talent.
Over the past 17 years, Joe has worked at several notable Atlanta restaurants, including award-winning JCT. Kitchen & Bar. With a passion for smokers, he enjoys smoking his own bacon in a smokehouse he constructed in his backyard. Currently, he is the Executive Chef at soon to open, King+ Duke.
