O'Sullivan's mentor Michael Crain, who is Mirasol's Executive Chef and Director of Culinary Operations, had this to say,, "When Ryan began at Mirasol, I knew he was destined for big things, as his unwavering passion for culinary excellence was evident from day one. I couldn't be prouder and happier for him and all that he has accomplished in the United States, and I am excited to see what the future holds for him. He is the epitome of the American Dream!"
