Jacob Zachow, Executive Chef

Jacob Zachow was raised on a farm in rural upstate New York where he developed a deep respect for nature and learned to value food in its natural state.  By using the freshest ingredients possible and cooking them perfectly, Jake “keeps it simple and makes it great.”    Jake began cooking at age 13 and decided early on to pursue a career in culinary arts, learning Garde Manager, banquet management and administration at the Otesaga Hotel in Cooperstown, NY, after which he was Executive Chef at The Vines Restaurant in Oneonta, NY.  While Jake’s specialty is rustic Italian cuisine,  pairing fresh ingredients  with citrus and deep spice blends, he spent three years learning classical French cooking under Executive Chef Jim Palmeri at the Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, NY,  where Jake was Chef Garde Manger and then Chef de Cuisine.  Jake has been at the helm of Bella Luna Restaurant & The Milky Way Lounge since June 2008.
