Chef Ruth Lantz

Chef Ruth Lantz began cooking at the age of 6. With 10 siblings to feed, she soon became adept at satisfying her most demanding clients. At 15, Ruth obtained her first restaurant job, and thus began a passionate career with food. Alternating office work with cooking, she finally quit Federal Government to work full time in the food industry.

Currently Ruth works at the Lafayette Inn in Stanardsville, Virginia. Ruth combines the highest quality ingredients with classic techniques, to create a wide range of national and international dishes. Ruth is the proud mother of a son and two daughters.
