Before making the transition to New York City he worked under the guidance of Alto Cinco owner, Johanna Yorke. She gave Joe the opportunity to try every position possible in her restaurant and after 7 years Joe was ready to make the move to NYC. In 2008 Joe began teaching baking classes at Butter Lane Bakery and later landed a job at Mesa Grill as a pastry cook. Then, in 2015 Joe made the transition back to cooking and with the help of a close friend he was given the opportunity to become Sous Chef at Employees Only NYC. Since then Joe has been a vital part of continuously elevating the quality of food at EO. As Executive Chef he hopes to continue the development of EO’s food menu by incorporating his unique style.
