Ron Oliver
Chef Ron Oliver travels the world for culinary inspiration but, back in the kitchen, he looks close to home for the freshest flavors. A globetrotter since an early age, Ron holds a unique understanding of how to cook exotic ingredients in a way that tantalizes the American palate. His first cookbook, Flying Pans, captures Ron’s balance between ethnic diversity and culinary sophistication. As Chef de Cuisine, Ron has led the prestigious Marine Room in La Jolla to eight titles as Best Restaurant in San Diego. His passion for food and cooking expands to support local schools and to teach food literacy to children by planting sustainable gardens. Ron also spends time crafting unique food-inspired art projects.
