Chef Ryan Jaranilla
Olympic Lock-In
By Susan Maddela
Chef Ryan Jaranilla will serve
12,000 athletes in Beijing’s
Olympic Village for the 2008 Games.
Gone for Beijing, Ryan Jaranilla will serve as senior executive chef for the 2008 Summer Olympics. The kitchen will be open around the clock to nourish 12,000 of the world’s elite athletes and the 5,000 media professionals who will cover the event. Chef Ryan (the name he likes to go by) is second in command over it all, reporting to the directing chef. Each day, the menus will be different and tailored to the diets of the different types of athletes. Recognizing the potential challenges, “A weight-lifter will probably want a heavier meal than, let’s say a gymnast, and I have to be sensitive to their cultural food preferences, too,” he says.
He will spend three months in Beijing. Because the Chinese government is hosting and funding the event, a traditional Chinese tea house and all its delicacies will also be available to the athletes.
Chef Ryan is a regional manager and executive chef for Aramark Corporation, a food services company that the general public is likely to find in corporate cafeterias, theme parks, university cafeterias, sports stadiums, and the like. Aramark has also been the food company of record for the Olympic Games for the last 40 years.
Chef Ryan had heard about the opportunity to serve as chef for the Olympics through his employer, where all managers were invited to submit their applications. In an interview process that lasted several months, he was one of 11 manager-level applicants, chosen over 250 others. Last February, he received the news he was going to Beijing.
