Z Chefs Restaurant
About Us
8
Owners Zachary and Michele Klemm moved from New Jersey to Citrus County four years ago. They have been married for almost twenty five years and have two beautiful daughters, Desiree and Brittany, both attending USF.
They originally opened Z Chefs in Inverness, enjoying much success, moving to their current location in the Sweetwater Plaza in Homosassa last year.
As Executive Chef, Zachary infuses every dish he creates with his extensive knowledge and his passion for freshness and perfection. Chef Klemm started his career and love affair with fine food 34 years ago, was certified in 1981, and has been a restaurant owner for 18 years. Zachary trained at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY which has overseen the education of some of the finest chefs in the world.
Michele takes care of front of house and is also Z Chefs very talented pastry chef. Her repertoire of cheesecakes alone runs to more than one hundred different varieties. It has been said that you haven't truly experienced good cheesecake until you have tasted Michele's! (this writer can attest first hand to their addictive qualities!)
Michele didn't start as a baker, her Bachelors Degree is in Biology! She holds real estate licenses in both Florida and New Jersey, and has always been active in government and community affairs. In New Jersey she served her fellow citizens tirelessly as President of Jackson Chamber of Commerce, County chairwoman of tourism, New Jersey Tourism Council member, small business rep of the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, and Monmouth Ocean Development Council rep to name just a few of her roles.
Michele continues her commitment to public service here in Citrus County where she serves on the board of directors of CVPOA (the homeowner association of Sugarmill Woods) and as the Beautification Chair. She also serves on the board of directors of the North Suncoast Republican Club and is a Chairwoman elect of the Citrus County Republican Committee.
When not baking delectable desserts and managing her well trained dining room staff Michele is also a Realtor with the ERA, Key One real estate company located at the entrance of Sugarmill Woods, always available to both buyers and sellers of real estate.
In case you wondered how the restaurant got it's name, Z Chefs was the name of the Klemms outside catering division when they owned their very first restaurant, The Pasta House.
