Chef Rolf Zahnd
Rolf Zahnd is a talented Swiss chef who has established himself and his family in Nokomis, Florida. My family has had the pleasure of eating often in his Saltwater Cafe. My personal favorite meal was on Mother's Day 2008.
Three reasons to love Chef Rolf

2. Chef Rolf has developed a successful TV show.
3. Chef Rolf has made himself into a well known personality. Do you know the name of the executive chef at your favorite restaurant?

Aquarium fish tanks at Saltwater Cafe
The pleasant decor at Chef Rolf's Saltwater Cafe includes a wall of saltwater fish tanks that separates the diningroom from the more casual dining and bar area. I made this video of the fish tank at my table on a recent visit.
