Ray Dawson
Culinary CoordinatorA teenage job as a dishwasher convinced Ray Dawson to pursue a career in the culinary arts. His strong work ethic eventually landed him a position at Asia de Cuba in Los Angeles, where he found himself expediting 600 covers a night as executive sous chef. Never one to shrink from adventure, Chef Ray is an avid hunter, and loves camping and outdoor barbecues. His favorite thing about working at The International Culinary Center is the joy of seeing his students appreciate food as much as he does. Chef Ray joined The International Culinary Center in 2008.
