......................Ralph Estevez
..Executive Chef, Aramark at Legg Mason



“Growing up, there was always cooking in the kitchen.
My parents and grandparents cooked, so it was a natural
thing for me. In my late teens, I worked for caterers.
I liked doing something that other people enjoyed.
That gave me pleasure.”



Music is a big hobby of mine—from the equipment to listening. I play guitar. I like to go to the symphony and I enjoy watching movies at home”.

Mozart is my favorite composer. On my 16th birthday, I went to Avery Fisher Hall in New York to see the New York Philharmonic perform an all-Mozart concert. It was amazing. I’ve never forgotten it.”












“Cooking is about all of the senses. I like it when
I’ve had a meal where I want to recreate it myself,
put my own twist on it.”


“I do a lot of vegetarian cooking…it’s a good feeling when non-vegetarians don’t realize they’re eating vegetarian food and enjoying it.”
