Some might know Ryan Scott as a celebrity chef and TV personality. But for those in the know, he’s also the guy behind a small boutique food trailer, RS 2go, in San Anselmo. It’s a passion project inspired by living in the neighborhood and cooking the comfort food he craves. My belly can attest that we all benefit from that.
What do you do? I’m a professional dishwasher, who happens to have won two Emmy awards and written two best-selling cookbooks.
Where can we find you when you’re not at work?
Ahhhh, at work. On the line cooking at my new trailer and loving it. chefryanscott.com/boutique-cafe
Where do you live? In the amazing little town of San Anselmo.
How long have you lived in Marin?
Five years this Thanksgiving.
If you had to convince someone how awesome Marin is, where would you take them?
Easy; downtown San Anselmo: Get coffee at Longway, see Yoda at Imagination Park, get pizza at Creekside Pizza and then people-watch. #favethingever
What’s one thing Marin is missing?
A bowling alley. Even though the one in San Rafael is closed, my family still heads up to Petaluma for a day of bowling and video games.
What’s one bit of advice you’d share with your fellow Marinites?
There’s a reason we’re here; don’t forget that. Park the car, walk or hike… we’re blessed here. No doubt, as Gwen Stefani would say.
If you could ask anyone to join you at dinner, who would you invite?
Babe Ruth and Dwight Yoakam. There’s not a day I don’t listen to Dwight, usually at 2am, baking pastries. Babe has been my idol since I was three; he’s the best, still the best.
What’s some advice you wish you knew 20 years ago?
Nobody in their 40s is looking for a new best friend… so choose wisely and know your time has value. Put you first.
What’s something that 20 years from now will seem cringeworthy?
Sadly, our ecosystem. Apple Pay. Twitter (aka X). And maybe MySpace will come back… also probably my gut and hairline.
Big question. What’s one thing you’d do to change the world?
Pay teachers more!!! More, more, more.
Make sure to check @ryanscott2go on Instagram for updates on when the trailer is open. Currently, it’s open on weekends until Thanksgiving week, then Scott’s off with the family for the holidays, and then back again.
Nish Nadaraja is always up to something at @IveGotNissues and might just see you in line at Scott’s RS 2go Boutique Food Trailer.
