My name is Marek Zarnow. I'm 40 years old and the current Bar Manager for IL Bistro in Pike Place Market here in Seattle. I've been in the service industry for 25 years, ten of which I've spent bartending. Much of the rest of the time I spent cooking and running kitchens. I grew up in Southern California with my parents and two older sisters, all teachers. I love reading, writing, playing and listening to music, animals of all sorts, cooking and eating, and of course making and enjoying cocktails.
