Las Vegas chef brings skills to CLC
One piece of advice Abel Ramirez, a new Hospitality and Culinary faculty member at CLC, gives to his students is to take time during their career to travel around the world. “You need to travel,” he said. “You need to taste the different cuisines and see the different cultures to know how they make their food.” Ramirez has been to 52 different countries, and he now finds himself at CLC for his first teaching position. He started last fall after spending his entire professional career in Las Vegas. Born in Mexico, Ramirez moved to Nevada when he was 10 years old. He earned his associate degree from his local community college, College of Southern Nevada, and his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from University of Nevada - Las Vegas.
