| Jemil, me and Chef Nick |
Jemil Gadea is the new pastry chef of Bibiana-Osteria Enoteca. Gadea brings to the position a decade of
distinguished experience working at some of the country’s most acclaimed resorts
and restaurants. I've had the pleasure of tasting some of his work and it is absolutely delicious!
Most recently Jemil was the assistant pastry chef at
Picasso at the Bellagio Resort Hotel located in Las Vegas,
Nevada. He started as a pastry cook at the restaurant in 2000, before quickly
being promoted to assistant pastry chef in 2001. During Jemil’s tenure at
Picasso, the restaurant received an extraordinary total of 11 AAA Five Diamond
Awards. The world-famous Bellagio also continues to be the only hotel in the U.S. with two AAA Five
Diamond restaurants, Picasso and Le Cirque.
Prior to joining Picasso, Gadea worked alongside renowned French
pastry chef Jean Louis Palladin at his Napa Restaurant in the Rio Hotel and
Casino in Las Vegas from 1998-2000. Jemil got his start in the industry working
as a pastry cook for another famous chef, Wolfgang Puck at his Café located in
Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida from 1997-1998. A native of Michigan, Jemil
received a culinary arts degree from Grand Rapids Community College. Get into Bibiana soon for a taste!
