Ryley McGillis, Jasmine Porch Chef de Cuisine, managed the various aspects of the restaurant for three years running. Now at the helm of The Sanctuary’s signature dining experience, Chef Ryley passionately “revisits” Jasmine’s original concept roots; The traditions of the Lowcountry. Chef Ryley trained and graduated from both Le Cordon Bleu Academy and Florida State University. Raised and educated in sunny Florida, Chef Ryley’s exposure to food and dining diversity helped develop his natural appreciation and ability towards cooking and entertaining. To this day his favorite cooked items are simple, timeless, whole food dishes. This approach has enriched the food and service ways of Jasmine Porch’s award winning southern style offerings. Prior to joining the Kiawah Island culinary team, Chef Ryley held coveted Charleston restaurant positions: Zinc Bistro and Bar (Mount Pleasant) and Charleston Place Hotel (Downtown). Chef Ryley makes his mark supporting annual community events such as the Taste of Charleston, Gourmet & Grapes, Ronald McDonald House~ Five Star Day, Charleston Stage Gala and Jasmine’s own Stones Throw Dinner Series. It is through these efforts that Chef Ryley and the Jasmine Porch culinary team can be stewards of the immediate farm and fishing resource community.
