Ranazul Employee Directory

A critical kitchen fixture at Ranzul Bistro for the last 14 years, Executive Chef Jaime Noel Ayala has deep roots in the kitchen. He grew up in Honduras, watching his mother creating recipes and preparing meals for patrons of the restaurant she operated out of their house. He fondly remembers the joy she brought to people with her unique cuisine. I... n 1996 at the age of 21, Ayala arrived in the United States seeking opportunity and personal success. He started working at Kincaids in Washington, DC as a dish washer, admiring the work of the kitchen team. He fell in love with the culinary crafts and was determined to one day run the kitchen in a chef-driven restaurant. When the opportunity emerged at Ranazul, Ayala jumped at the chance, drawing on his experience working with his mother at her restaurant in Honduras for inspiration. Today, he oversees the Ranazul kitchen, running a team that includes his son Erick as sous chef. He loves continuously discovering flavor combinations and creating new dishes while refining Ranazul signatures that include Cashew Crusted Salmon, and Lamb Chops with habanero aioli.
