Ryan’s family has a long heritage at Findlay Market. His mother's family owned a produce stand at the Market, and Ryan worked at Eckerlin Meats, which is owned by his uncle and cousin, Bob and Josh Lillis, for 15 years. Ryan met John while working at Eckerlin, and they became fast friends, bonding over their love of food, cooking, and the Market. Together, they have an annual tradition called Pork of July, a gathering celebrating pork. When the Kroeger & Sons Meats space opened up, they jumped at the chance to partner and create LK. We are honored to have the opportunity to serve you!
