Garland Lodge and Resort is honored to announce the newest members of our team. Mr. Jesse Ziobron has accepted the position of Food and Beverage Director. He is joined by Jessica Ziobron who will be our new executive chef. Jesse and Jessica come to us from Otsego Club and Resort, in Gaylord, MI, where Jesse was the Food and Beverage Director and Jessica was the executive chef. They held food and beverage positions for the past twelve years. Jesse’s experience includes a stint as executive chef and therefore gives him a deep understanding of matching great food with fantastic wines, craft brews and locally crafted spirits. Also having extensive experience in developing membership relations, Jesse has the tools to lead the Garland culinary team to the next level.

Our new executive chef Jessica was the winner of “Best Food” 2010 and 2011 for the Taste of Gaylord annual event. Jessica has trained with some of the best culinary schools and restaurants in the U.S. She focuses on exceptionally fresh ingredients, outstanding flavors and incredible presentations. One of Jessica’s highlights is to serve “Up North” culinary selections to visitors from around the world.

In the fifteen years of service Jessica and I have dedicated to culinary arts in Northern Michigan, we have always dreamed of cooking and serving members and guests at the majestic Garland Lodge and Resort. We know that our experience “Up North” helps create an exceptional dining experience for the membership here at Garland. Please feel free to contact us – if there is anything we can do to make your experience more memorable. – Jesse

Please join us in welcoming both of them to the team this spring.
