After getting married, Jake moved back to Lincoln where he was able to collaborate with longtime friend Brandon Akert. The two decided it was time to re-introduce Jake’s talent back to Lincoln, but this time to the catering world. It was then that Yes Chef Catering was born.

This is done through a Jake’s leadership, a talented culinary team, high quality product and an incredible attention to detail and presentation, because as Jake always says “you eat with your eyes first.”
