YOUR CHRANIACS

Born and raised in Houston and now calling Pearland home, Jonathan Wicks has spent his entire life in hospitality. What started as a busser job at Gringo’s in Pearland eventually led to 15 years as a chef, where he discovered a passion for creating great food and even better guest experiences. Jonathan studied at Texas State in San Marcos before culinary school, falling in love with the Hill Country along the way. Drawn to Chrane for its culture of good people and genuine teamwork, Jonathan is excited to grow his career by helping elevate healthcare foodservice and finding ways to make every kitchen more efficient and impactful. Outside of work, Jonathan is happiest around a grill (ask him about his ribs), cheering for Houston sports, or hanging out with his kids, Bryce and Brooke, and their two Rottweilers.

Dream Destination: Edinburgh, Scotland.

Dinner for Two: If he could share a meal with anyone, it’d be Robin Williams, because who wouldn’t want dinner with someone funny, fascinating, and full of heart?
