Caitlin Cutler is the co-owner of Ronan restaurant on Melrose Ave in Los Angeles. She runs Ronan with her chef-husband, Daniel, where she oversees daily operations and assembles the restaurant's rotating selection of natural wines. Caitlin's dream for Ronan is to create an all encompassing source of hospitality with friendly and genuine service where we serve food and beverages that provide nourishment without restraint, and ultimately where we honor the farmers who make running a restaurant in Southern California such a rewarding experience. Caitlin has been an outspoken advocate for small business relief since the COVID-19 pandemic, with an "open-book" strategy to publicly discussing the financial pressures on her restaurant, specifically targeting the challenges that arose when adapting to a world of takeout and delivery.

As a young rock musician (when christened the nickname “Fast Eddie”), Eddie discovered support through employment at local bars like Three Clubs and restaurants like Miceli’s. Jabberjaw, a 1990s performance venue in the Arlington Heights neighborhood, was his sanctuary. He would learn that Jabberjaw was suffering from the same small-business inequities that informs the work that he does today. In 2002, Eddie founded FE Design & Consulting to help hospitality businesses get their doors open, providing a variety of services for hospitality from architecture, land use and kitchen design.
