About Us

What began as a friendship between Stephen Carroll and Thomas Blanding, born in the rigors of corporate restaurant kitchen work (and late-night video game football sessions) soon became a dream that started stirring in 1996. Out of a mutual love of food, cooking, and serving, came RayNathan’s. Over the last 27 years, the timeline, circumstances, concepts, and menus have changed but three things have remained constant- the friendship, the name RayNathan’s, and the love and support from our wives (Elizabeth and Tekedra) and children.
