Originally born in Portland, Oregon, Chef Ryan Hallsted has roots in Tennessee, North Carolina, and finally Texas, where he has resided since 1995. Katy, Texas is home to Ryan and his family, and is where he has enjoyed witnessing the exponential growth in this city. With a plan to give back, he is excited for what Pearl and Vine will bring to Katy.
After graduating from the culinary institute of America in San Antonio, Chef Hallsted moved back to Houston and joined the kitchen at two well known restaurants, Reef and Anthonie’s market grill. He is grateful for the culmination and experience in vastly diverse restaurants, which gave him the courage to open his own concept, Pearl and Vine.
