Hemingway's Executive Chef Marcel Bonetti has been cooking it up for Hemingway's Blue Water Cafe for over a decade. Beginning his apprenticeship at the age of ten in his uncle's three-star hotel in the south of France, he worked to learn -- never even earning a paycheck until the age of 19. His passion for the culinary adventure launched a career that has spanned three continents and nearly half a century of experience. To our great fortune, Chef Bonetti has found a home here in the Ozarks.

When not in the kitchen, hunting safari in darkest Africa, or fishing in the Amazon, he is hard at work for the American Culinary Federation (ACF), an organization dedicated to the teaching and development of young culinarians and the industry in which they work. In addition to founding the local chapter, Chef Bonetti helps the ACF to place apprentices and helps to shape policy affecting the culinary industry.

This accomplished chef has created culinary delights to please an international host of palettes, along the way picking up such honors as Chef of the Year in 1987 and again in 1990, and the distinguished Auguste Escoffier Medal of Merit, one of the highest honors awarded in culinary circles.

Together with a team of talented Sous Chefs and many young apprentices, Chef Bonetti proudly invites you to join him and his terrific team for breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Hemingway's!
