Scroll down to learn more about us... Our story starts with Chef Joe Mannke, the founder of Bistro Le Cep who grew up in Pomerania (a German province that is now in Poland) and had to flee his village because of World War 2. Years later he started his apprenticeship in Munich and was a chef all over the world until he settled in Houston opening Rotisserie For Beef and Bird in 1978. After 23 years at Rotisserie Chef Joe Manke decided to open Bistro Le Cep. In 2011 Joe Mannke sold Bistro Le Cep to his loyal employee, Oved Salmeron who started as a busboy at Rotisserie when he was 19 who later became a manager at Bistro Le Cep. Oved also had to flee his country El Salvador..
