About

Ricky Lemann was born and bred in New Orleans’ Garden District. In 1985, he moved to New York City where he was involved in home video and television syndication until he discovered his natural ability to cook. He then embarked on what would become a thirteen-year career in the hospitality industry. After several culinary positions in New York, Ricky moved home in 1989 to co-own, consult, or have sole proprietorship of six local restaurant and nightclub establishments, most of which have enjoyed national press. After several years in a business that is tough to grow older in, Ricky knew it was time for a change.

Friends and colleagues recognized his expertise in the New Orleans market area and sought out his advice and counsel
