My goal is to highlight the amazing local product that is available to us while staying true to the Appalachian cuisine.”

Ramirez has been serving as the Sous Chef at Oxley House since its opening in April. He is eager to showcase his skills and creativity in his new role. As part of his promotion, a new libation and cuisine menu will launch on Thursday, September 12. Ramirez has worked closely with the culinary team to introduce Appalachian-inspired dishes, featuring ingredients from local farms like The Charm Farm and Highland Fungi.

Furthermore, Ramirez will continue to host the “Cuisine Around the World” culinary wine and dinner series.
