Chris and Jenna were married
in 1998 and have both dreamed of their own place since their
honeymoon to Santa Catalina Island. They sat at a small cafe
off the small sandy beach enjoying savory appetizers and good
conversation. That would be the culmination of all their experience
and patience.
Chef Christopher Rohe started cooking early in Rochester
MN and has worked in and around Rochester for 21 years. He received
his culinary diploma from a Rochester Community College Program.
Taking his culinary experience he worked at the Broadstreet
Cafe for 7 years as Executive Chef and as Food & Beverage
Director at the Rochester Athletic Club for 5 years.
Our Executive Chef Christopher Rohe has worked for many years
to achieve his Certified Executive Chef status from the American
Culinary Federation (ACF). He serves as the Vice-President
of the South Eastern Minnesota Chapter of the ACF.
This chapter is involved in partnering with other local not-for-profit
organizations for purposes of fund-raising.
Jenna Rohe has worked in the customer service field, restaurants
and catering facilities for many years. Her training through
the International Sommelier Guild has made her love of wine
her second passion. "Food is more enjoyable with wine
complimenting it." Jenna remarked. "There is a wine
out there for everyone." She added.
 Something
Special for Mom
“Chef Chris Rohe and his sons Marshal, 6, and
Carson, 5, show off their special waffle creations they
are planning to make their mother on Mother’s
Day.”
“Bringing mom breakfast in bed
seems to be a popular way to start the day, though no
one knows exactly why, where or when that got started”
“The thing
to remember, advises Chris Rohe, executive chef at the
Radisson, and the father of two young sons, is to keep
whatever you do simple and fun” |

Look Who’s Cooking
“At 25, it would seem that Edward
Hayes Jr. has hit the job jackpot. He is the sous-chef
at Osteria I Nonni, just south of downtown St. Paul
in Lilydale, which is consistently named the best Italian
restaurant in Minnesota if not the upper Midwest”
“Chris Rohe….taught
me so much and was the best mentor and teacher that
any aspiring chef could ever work under.”
