Ryan Hidinger - Chef de Cuisine
Ryan was born and raised in Zionsville, Indiana.  He attended The Art Institute of Atlanta and after graduation moved back to Indianapolis to pursue his culinary art.  There he worked under Chef Greg Hadesty at his sushi bar H2O Sushi for 2 ½ years.  Ryan ran the sushi bar for a year before leaving to work at Elements, another of Chef Greg's restaurants.  Elements served contemporary American cuisine, drawing from French, Asian, and Mediterranean influence.  Ryan and his wife decided to explore the country a little and ended up in Atlanta.  He spent a year on the line at Bacchanalia and was promoted to sous chef at their sister restaurant Float Away Café.   Ryan wants to own a restaurant and decided it was time to work someplace that resembled one he hoped to own.  A friend tipped him off to Muss and Turner's, and he's been here ever since.

Gregg Baker – Sous Chef
Gregg was born in Marietta. He has worked his way up through the ranks, starting as a dishwasher and working his way up to sous chef. He comes to Muss & Turner’s from an Athens bistro where he worked for 6 ½ years. There he did an apprenticeship under Chef Lamar Thomas and for four years developed his culinary talents. As sous chef at Muss & Turner’s, Gregg delights us with his gastric delights, lending imagination and love of food to his creations.

Ben Barth – Saucier
After attending Georgia Southern College, Ben worked in a neighborhood restaurant in Statesboro, where he rose from dishwasher to ultimately become its General Manager. His need and desire for further development and to be a chef brought him to the steps of M&T in 2007 where he now serves as Saucier. You will be hard pressed to find some more eager to help or learn.
