Memento Mori Hospitality

Chef profile

Jackson Kalb

EXECUTIVE CHEF & OWNER

Mexican cuisine by Chefs Jackson Kalb and Marco Arreguin.

Chef Jackson Kalb (Top Chef Alum) has created dining experiences that take comfort food to new heights. His beloved Italian concepts like Ospi, Jemma and Jame now welcome a Mexican taqueria to the family in ¡Jaime!. With our house-made tortillas and bold, chef-driven recipes, we're bringing the best of Mexico to our southern California neighbors.

"Remember that you will die" is the translation of the Latin phrase "Memento Mori." We use this phrase as the basis of our hospitality company not to be morbid , to think negatively or to live in fear, but rather to treat each day and each moment as a blessing. We are here now, we are guaranteed to be gone one day, and we don't know when that day is coming, so it is a gentle reminder to spend time wisely rather than waste it.

Ospi is short for ospitante - meaning "host" in Italian. The sophomore restaurant of Jackson & Melissa Kalb, Ospi is an elevated celebration of a classic Brooklyn red sauce joint. Part modern Italian, part classic Italian, Ospi is our version of a casual lunch trattoria, familial dinner restaurant, and recovery brunch spot on the weekends. Welcome to our dinner party.

Jemma

Jemma pays homage to old-school Italian-American joints with a touch of modern California flair. Our pizzas are made with an organic flour dough that took over four years to perfect and Lodi, CA tomatoes that feature the perfect blend of sweetness and acidity.
