Robin Jamgochian, who is deeply involved with business operations, and Executive Chef Andrew Malak round out the core of the group that is newly focused on creating an exceptional experience for customers. Adam is back at the helm at Hiawatha with a terrific new team including a business partner, Wausau native Andrew Wichmann, and general manager Taylor Owens. Bill agreed to take on Hiawatha by himself in 2019 to allow Adam to focus on his new downtown restaurant, Ciao. Roger ran the restaurant for decades leading up to his death in 2013, after which his sons Adam and Bill Jamgochian took the reins, with help from their sister, Stefanie.
