Meet our Executive Chef, Tyler Parham
Tyler has been in the culinary industry his entire adult life and his love for food and cooking started as a kid. Tyler's dad was also a chef and his main inspiration for getting into the culinary industry. As a young child, Tyler has vivid memories of cooking Sunday brunch and pumpernickel bread with his family.
At 17, Tyler started the culinary program at Cuesta College and never turned back. Working in prime steakhouses, wine bars, nuevo Latino kitchens, private chef events, catering, and bakeries, Tyler gained experience in all aspects of the industry.
Tyler is now proud to be the Executive Chef at Union & Vine Ranch Kitchen and has created a menu that blends gastropub fare with a wine country twist. His food features flavors from a global palette including influences from Asia, Italy, Central America and all over the US.
"The best part about being a chef is seeing people's reaction when they enjoy my dishes." - Tyler Parham
