Executive Chef Jason Rickard
Chef Jason Rickard grew up in Wichita and is an East High alum. After graduating from Northwestern University, Jason decided a legal career was not the right fit. A move to Denver with his then girlfriend and now wife, Rachele FioRito, proved to be the opportunity to explore his longtime passion for cooking.
In the years since Jason has worked at many of Denver’s best restaurants (ChoLon, Guard & Grace, Safta, and Beckon*). However, the highlight of his time in Colorado was his 3 years at the Michelin starred and multiple James Beard awarded Frasca Food & Wine in Boulder, CO.
In 2022, Jason and his brother Jordan Rickard opened FioRito Ristorante, Wichita's best scratch made Italian restaurant. Jason joined the TapNPaddles team in early 2025 to bring RAHA Mediterranean to life.
