Chef Jesse Nobbe

Jesse spent a large part of his childhood in rural town Ponca Nebraska and achieved his Associates degree in Culinary Arts from Western Iowa Tech in Sioux City, Iowa at the age of 22. Shortly after college, he focused on his career and spent four years learning the business and honing his newly acquired skills with the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sioux City. He was actively involved in all aspects of food and beverage operations as a Chef de Cuisine and saw a lot of opportunity to learn and teach others. Ask him if he’s cooked for your favorite musician. He probably has!

After the hotel, he became Executive Chef of the Sioux City Country Club. He dove right into writing exciting new menus, holding chef tables, private parties, theme events and catering weddings.

After absorbing all of that knowledge, he set out with his family to move to the great pacific northwest to become a personal chef in Seattle, Washington. Coming from the midwest, he likes cooking with fresh and local ingredients and his favorite style of cooking is a mix between gourmet and comfort.
