Some History
Meet Jake, the culinary heart and soul behind our catering service. Jake's journey began at Ball State University, where he studied hospitality and food management. In 2015, he moved to Louisville and completed his degree at Sullivan University, further honing his skills and passion for the culinary arts.
Jake's career took off when he opened River House with Chef John. He refined his talents and deepened his dedication to the industry by working alongside some of Louisville's finest chefs, including Chef Carmelo at Sarino's, Churchill Downs, Mussel & Burger Bar. Jake's excellence in the kitchen led him to prestigious roles as Executive Chef at Vincenzo’s and Silvio’s.
Beyond his professional achievements, Jake's personal journey is equally inspiring. He moved to Louisville in pursuit of sobriety and has been a proud, active member of the recovery community for over 10 years. His commitment to sobriety and his contributions to the community are a testament to his strength and resilience.
Jake's love for cooking is deeply rooted in his family, who have shared their culinary passion with him for over 22 years. Each dish he creates is a reflection of his rich experiences and the diverse influences from the various restaurants he's worked in. For Jake, food is more than sustenance; it's his artistic outlet, with each plate serving as his canvas.
Jake's unique blend of experiences, his unwavering dedication to his craft, and his heartfelt story shape the exceptional culinary experiences we offer. We're proud to have him lead our team, bringing his passion and artistry to every event we cater.
