Meet our executive chef
Skylar comes to us with more than 15 years of personal cooking experience. In the professional field, he started as a dishwasher and then moved up to prep cook. Over time, Skylar worked his way up to sous chef. Seven of his professional years were spent working at Washington State University where he was introduced to the world of catering chef. During this chapter of his life, Skylar discovered the love of creating new and different food mash-ups to create unique items for menus. He brings these ideas with him to The Smoke Ring to help bring exclusive menu items to the community. We are excited to officially announce that he will be staying as part of our Smoke Ring family!!
