Tim Adams

Tim Adams is the oldest son of owners Mark and Michelle Adams. Tim is a senior at St. Louis University College in St. Louis, MO. He was 4 years old when his parents opened Ricardo's and as a result has no memory of life before the restaurant. Tim has worked at the restaurant since he was a freshman at St. John Vianney high school. He began as a busboy but quickly moved into the kitchen. His parents do not play favorites, as Tim had to begin as a dishwasher. He is now working as an assistant to the Chef (his Dad), whenever his school schedule and swimming schedule allow it. He is a year round swimmer and has broken 3 school records. Tim’s favorite dish is the Penne Michelangelo, a recipe that his parents picked up on a trip to Rome, Italy. He is majoring in Business and is a member of the St. Louis University swim team. Tim will graduate in May of 09 and then will attend the Culinary School in New York and Italy.
