Gemma Langenwalter
Inspired by her favorite Aunt, Gemma took an interest in cooking early in life, but it wasn't until 1994 that she got her first restaurant job as a prep cook at Camille's Fattoria in Eagle. Recognizing her talent, Camille appointed her pastry chef at the restaurant where she created many intricate individual desserts many including various dessert sauces. She has always found enjoyment in cooking and entertaining and her and her husband put in a professional kitchen in their home where they entertained friends nearly every weekend. "There is always something to learn where food is concerned, it keeps life interesting" that is what holds her interest and she enjoys trying new and different things. With nearly 35 years of experience in cooking and baking from scratch she has decided to put her talent to good use for the public, hence the conception of "The Neighbors Bar and Grille". Be sure to stop in on Tuesdays, our featured Italian night, where there is always something delicious happening. Homemade noodles are a house specialty.
