  The venture signals a re-emergence into the Rochester dining scene for Jay Cohen, the former chef and co-owner of the Rio Bamba who left the Alexander Street restaurant two years ago shortly after it made its menu and dining room more casual and changed its name to Bamba Bistro.Cohen will act as One's executive chef and general manager.
  
  "The food will be a little lighter than what I did at the Rio, less heavily into the sauces," said Cohen, who will be manning a galley kitchen behind the bar.His menu will include vegetable and protein salads, sushi, some raw or marinated seafood dishes, pizza and burgers.
  ...
  Since then, Cohen has been doing consulting work and helping Tompkins revamp the menu at his other restaurant, Snug Harbor Restaurant & Inn in Hammondsport, Steuben County.
  ...
  Cohen envisions customers ordering food throughout the room, at the bar, dining tables and by the fireplace.

  Jay Cohen
  
  Jay Cohen is a self-taught chef born and raised in Rochester, New York.His career in restaurants began over three decades ago (while still in high school) when he worked for a neighborhood catering firm.Upon graduating, he turned his full attention to his chosen career, and by his early twenties had worked his way to executive chef positions in both Rooney's and Edwards, Rochester's top two restaurants at the time.Knowing there was more to learn, Jay moved to New York City in 1987.
  
  Over the next decade, Jay honed his craft and worked alongside such notable chefs as David Bouley (Bouley, Danube), Tom Colicchio (Gramercy Tavern, Craft), Kurt Gutenbrunner (Wallse, Cafe Sabarsky), Dan Silverman (Lever House), and Dan Barber (Blue Hill), among others.
  ...
  After serving for several years as the first executive chef of Wegmans' flagship store in Pittsford (helping to spark the supermarket's shift in emphasis to chef-prepared foods), Jay opened his own restaurant, the Rio Bamba.
  
  The Rio Bamba had been a Rochester destination since the early 1950s, but it soared to new heights under Jay's inspiration and leadership when he reopened the restaurant after extensive renovations in June 2000.The restaurant received rave reviews from the start (both locally and in the national press) and Jay's food quickly attracted a loyal local following as well as faithful visitors from all corners of the United States and beyond.Jay's Rio Bambabecame the pinnacle of fine dining and the place to go for special occasions.Under his care and supervision, the Rio Bamba became the only privately owned restaurant in the Rochester area to earn the prestigious AAA Four Diamond Award.In late 2005, Jay left the Rio Bamba to focus on family.
  
  Now he's back with a vengeance!In 2007, Jay joined forces with Tim Tompkins (the owner of Snug Harbor Restaurant and Inn, Two89, and One Ryan Alley)as Tompkins' director of operations for restaurants and clubs.
  ...
  Fans of Jay will recognize some of his signature dishes and his style of cuisine.He looks forward to seeing these old friends and making new acquaintances through his culinary arts.
