About Chem Chefs
Chem Chefs is a collective of experts who are passionate about food & beverages and the ways in which they’re developed and manufactured.
Our goal is to help match unparalleled expertise and quality in the development and commercialization process in order to push the boundaries of what can be made. We craft lasting formulas that help our partners deliver delicious products to their customers while working through challenges across manufacturing and scalability with speed.
Our expert knowledge is rooted in the repeated commercialization process of products we’ve developed with a deep understanding of what the plant needs to execute the recipe. This practical focus helps set the stage for innovative products that can make it to market with consistency and repeatability.
Cook. Chemist. Recovering Know-It-All.
Hi I’m Ryan. I started Chem Chefs to make the food product development process more grounded, transparent, and effective for new brands and companies looking to create lasting real products that are good for people.
I grew up working in the restaurant industry before attending university for chemistry. I’ve worked on NASA and NSF research, at a Fortune 500 chemicals company as a corporate chemist, then ran a beverage development and manufacturing company for about 8 years before consulting.
While in the food and beverage industry, my focus has been on the marriage between excellence in manufacturing paired with clean formulation. Everything I work on is grounded in a deep knowledge of the chemistry of food. The most successful products have real benefits and are built well by asking the right job of the ingredients for the application at hand.
At Chem Chefs, I don’t believe in overcomplicating R&D or inflating the cost of getting good food made. I do believe in clean products, process-driven thinking, and building with purpose. I want everything we do to be better than if we didn’t work on it. Better for people, better for the business.
Please reach out if your values are aligned with ours and you want to build something to last.
