Ronnie Woo

Personal

Woo grew up in Seattle, Washington with his parents and two sisters. At the age of 19, he moved to Los Angeles, California to pursue his modeling career.

Modeling

Woo was signed to Wilhelmina Models when he was 19 years old shortly after moving to Los Angeles, but eventually switched to Ford Models a few years later. He did both print and runway modeling. Some of his past modeling work includes Nordstrom, Macy's, K-Swiss, Rayban, and Banana Republic.

Education

Woo attended the University of Washington from 2003-2004, but moved to Los Angeles after his freshman year. After taking a year off from school, he transferred to the University of California, Los Angeles in 2006 and graduated in 2009 with an undergraduate degree in psychology and later received two master's degrees: a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Masters in Business Administration. Although Woo did not continue on to be a therapist, he does support the profession and "believes that everyone should have one.".

The Delicious Cook

In 2011, Woo completed a culinary program with the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver while also creating his food blog, The Delicious Cook. A few months later, his food blog evolved into what is now his private chef company, based in Beverly Hills, which specializes in intimate four-star dinner parties. Woo has worked with Jessica Alba, Charlie Sheen, Kathy Griffin, Holly Robinson Peete, Dita Von Teese, Nancy O'Dell, and Gilles Marini. On May 5, 2013, Woo premiered a pop-up event called Salt & Honey, which served California comfort-style dishes.

Food To Get You Laid

Woo is the host and chef of the cooking and reality television show Food To Get You Laid on Logo TV. The show was originally set to premiere on August 16, 2015 but was later changed to an earlier premiere date, August 14, 2015. In the show, Woo coaches real people in their homes on how to cook a meal in their kitchen in hopes to spice up their love life via recipes that everyday people can make at home.

Woo said this about the show: “Food does more than just bring people together, it creates memories. I think all of us have the tools to create a memorable meal, so we’re going into people’s homes and showing them how they can use what’s already in their kitchen to make a romantic and delicious meal they'll never forget."

Other appearances

Woo was a guest chef expert on Season 4 of Home Made Simple on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) and was added to the cast as a regular chef expert in season 5. He has made guest appearances on Hallmark Channel's The Home and Family Show, Tyra Banks's FABLife (where Chrissy Teigen asked him to cook shirtless ), and is a regular contributor to Good Day LA. Woo has also made an appearance on NBC's Food Fighters. In 2016, Woo joined the cast of Logo TV's Secret Guide To Summer for a one-hour summer special.
