What started as a money-saving necessity quickly evolved into an obsession with decoding restaurant secrets. Armed with an exceptional palate and relentless determination, Ryan has spent years perfecting the art of the copycat recipe, turning Food Classy from a personal blog into a trusted recipe resource.

Despite his expertise in recreating high-end restaurant dishes, Ryan remains committed to the budget-conscious cooking philosophy that inspired Food Classy. When he’s not in the kitchen testing a new recipe for the twentieth time, you can find him visiting restaurants with notebook in hand, jotting down flavor profiles and ingredient clues.

Ryan’s unique ability to identify the subtle details that make restaurant food special has earned him recognition among home cooks looking to bring restaurant magic into their everyday meals.
