Executive Chef Ricardo Pineda

Ricardo Pineda has worked in the kitchen at Nana, a seasonally-minded restaurant with a local, sustainable and organic focus, since the Bridgeport restaurant opened in 2009. He began as a sous chef and was promoted to executive chef in October 2012. During his tenure as sous chef, Pineda handled many of Nana’s handcrafted ingredients, from the breads to the pickling, and his refined dishes made frequent appearances on both the regular menus and weekend specials.

Pineda grew up cooking Mexican cuisine with his grandmother and aunts in Mexico. When he moved to Chicago, he learned the business from his father and stepmother, who worked in restaurants for over a quarter of a century. Prior to accepting the sous chef position at Nana, Pineda spent over 14 years in the kitchens of Honest Foods Catering, La Bella Winnetka and MK.
