Chef & Commander-in-Leaf
Revolutionizing the gourmet fast-casual dining experience, Jonathan Rollo, “Commander-in-Leaf” of Greenleaf Kitchen and Cocktails has always had an appetite for fresh ingredients and living a healthy life. After graduating from Vanderbilt University, Rollo went on to pursue his passion for cooking by training at the world-wide leader of innovation and creativity, Le Cordon Bleu of Chicago. Following a successive string of Patina Group developments in and out of Los Angeles, including the iconic Hollywood Bowl, Rollo embarked on his passion project in 2007 opening his first Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop.
The farm-to-face culinary concept embodies Rollo’s wellness philosophy of using local, fresh, natural and organic ingredients that are both delicious and wholesome. Creating authentic, community-based dining experiences is what separates Greenleaf from other restaurants in the healthy-living marketplace. As Greenleaf grew from only providing salads and bowls, and into a menu with more variety, including craft cocktails and carefully-sourced wine, the concept naturally transitioned into what it is today: Greenleaf Kitchen & Cocktails.
