Ryan Hickman, co-Owner of The Knotted Apron, brings creative spark and 20+ years experience of work in professional kitchens. After being summoned to the line as a young dishwasher, Ryan quickly made the rounds at various restaurants as a line cook before moving to Portland to train under Chef Larry Matthews Jr. of Back Bay Grill. Becoming the Sous Chef and learning the importance of scratch cooking and using quality local ingredients became the backbone of Ryan’s cooking. Years following, Chef Ryan worked multiple seasonal gigs in Lake Tahoe and then back to the east at Arrow’s restaurant in Ogunquit with Chef's Mark Gair and Clark Fraiser. In 2014 Chef Ryan helped open and helm the kitchen at Pine Point Grill in Scarborough bringing seasonal menus and expertise to an area not known for it’s culinary flair. When the restaurant sold in 2019, Chef Ryan ventured out on his own to find a home for his passion and quest to have simple food executed well. In 2020 Chef Ryan opened the doors to The Knotted Apron with his loving fiancé and co-founder Kate Harvey, where he continues to make his dreams come true one plate at a time.
