About the Chef
Blake Kaba
For over 15 years, Chef Blake Kaba traveled around the United States, training under different chefs and learning new cuisines. Born in Albania, she immigrated to New York at age 12. While in New York, she worked in her family’s restaurants and discovered a love for cooking. Blake studied Italian and Mediterranean cuisines in Queens, Brooklyn, and Rhode Island.
Blake moved to Arizona at age 20, where she quickly rose to head chef at her uncle’s restaurant. After honing her skills for eight years, she ventured to Alaska to launch a hotel restaurant, leading as executive chef. Seeking further growth, Chef Kaba embraced a private chef role in Yakima, WA, where she and her team crafted exquisite six to twelve-course meals for special events. Following this seasonal experience, Chef Kaba settled in Spokane, WA. Currently, as the Executive Chef at Kalispel Golf Country Club’s 1898 Public House, Chef Kaba delights in creating a menu that balances guest favorites with her signature dishes.
She prioritizes including local companies, fresh ingredients, and scratch-made dishes. Chef Kaba truly cares for what her guests want. “My goal is to ensure every guest leaves full and satisfied after having our food.”
