Hospitality On The Rise
EP 79: Ryan Pera
Ryan Pera, Co-Owner of Agricole Hospitality and Executive Chef of Coltivare, started washing dishes at a summer job in high school and never left the kitchen. On this episode of Hospitality On The Rise , Ryan shares how he traded an anthropology degree and archaeological dig for a culinary career that took him to Le Cirque during its four-star era, then to Houston, where he eventually built a restaurant group from the ground up. He opens up about bringing a farm-to-plate vision to life, the growing pains of expanding too quickly, the failures that changed how he approaches business, and why a dive bar with clean bathrooms became one of his proudest wins.
