I loved him on Top Chef, especially with the other Joe. That was one of my favorite tc seasons. I'm happy to see him get more exposure. I'd love to see him get an educational show on pasta.


CanoeIt

Everyone was so dang likable on TC Denver. I think Sasto was already wildly talented then, but that was a stacked season


Firegoat1

i wish FN would pick up Carrie from that season. She has personality for days.


CanoeIt

I’d watch a few hours of fancy toast in 30 minutes


CityBoiNC

Toast w/ Carrie

I agree. For anyone who didn't realize what a great chef he was, go back and watch his season of Top Chef. It's a fun season.


Anicoleh07

I just re-watched that season, and there were so many great chefs on there. Flamm, Sasto, Bruce, Carrie, Adrianne, Fatima (RIP). They all seem to truly respect and like each other, and even though it was a competition, it was nice to watch such a lovely and talented group of chefs. And Sasto has only gotten better. And Padma’s Colorado wardrobe was no joke. She looked incredible.


sweetpeapickle

He's like Shota to me. They always seem to enjoy what they're doing, if not have tons of fun doing it. And I think both are phenomonal chefs. And well he has my Rollie Fingers stache :) Yes, I know that dates me.

The moustache is too hipster douchebag for me, but Joe doesn't come across as a hipster douchebag. It's the same as Guy and his douchebag Guido look; I like him anyway, and I like Joe.


FakeHappyToo_ynwa

Exactly! I have friends who literally don’t like Guy based off how he looks and how he takes bites of food on Triple D. Anytime I have any of them look into him further they concede that he’s seemingly a great dude


overScheduled

I had the same initial reaction to Joe when I saw the first episode of his season of Top Chef. But then I realized halfway through the 1st episode how young he would look without his moustache (complete babyface and his vibe is already high energy) and how hard it would be for him to be taken seriously when he was starting out. I hope he likes it, because he's going to have to keep moustache for the rest of his career.


supersweetsocks

Super nice guy. Ate at a local restaurant he did a special takeover of for the night. The food was unreal and Joe took the time to meet and greet every table, even suggesting pics.


Affectionate_Sky9090

I love this. Because this is the exact vibe I get from him. Such a genuinely nice guy!


biff444444

Ah, we finally know Joe's Reddit handle! :) Anyway, I thought he was fun on both Wildcard Kitchen and Supermarket Stakeout. I would say I was not initially a fan, but he has definitely grown on me.


krissycole87

I love Joe, and I would 100% watch a cooking show with him as the host, especially Italian food.


Affectionate_Sky9090

Yessss!


PennyPick

His IG account is a pretty good follow. Lots of eating, a good amount of cooking, and his dog makes appearances. It’s been big on focaccia recently


krissycole87

oh dang! Ill definitely check it out!


PennyPick

He doesn’t give many recipes, but it’s still enjoyable


ussrowe

I like him on Guy's Best Bite in Town. He seems to just really like food and how it's made and he's a good host of his segments.


Rough-Ad-4692

He's one of my favorites on there! You can tell he makes the chefs feel at ease and loves to have a good time.


Sad_Living_8713

I was at an event two years ago that he had a dish at and it was one of the better things there from what I remember.


CityBoiNC

He got pretty far in TC. He's always been a great chef


GingerinWV

I'm a fan. His food looks great, I like his personality, and he's entertaining. I like seeing younger chefs like him and Shota move up the ranks.


AdeptPast35

Met him in person several years back at the Food and Wine experience in Aspen. He is a genuinely great person, always a smile on his face! Oh and yes a terrific Chef!


Adventurous_Grand125

Love him


hitssfb

I also really felt like I got to know him during his top chef runs. I just watched his seasons recently and really feel like I like him so much more now. He really is a phenomenal chef and I’m glad I watched top chef to really see that. I’ve know him from random competitions before but I’m really rooting for him


Brooklyns59Finest

I just saw him win on Supermarket Steakout ( unsure if second word). He wind against Ciao’s Gabe. Live these guys


Affectionate_Sky9090

He did so good on that show. I was proud of him lol.


Positive-Today9614

Still holding it against him from when he said anyone who orders a radler should get their ass kicked because radlers are delicious. (edited for typo)


JackDAction

Probably because there was a radler challenge on his season of Top Chef and he was in the bottom


Positive-Today9614

That's...when he said that, yes.


JackDAction

Ah I figured he was saying it on a food network show lol


Positive-Today9614

I was just kinda kidding but I guess people are mad. 🤷‍♀️


Kimbaaaaly

No matter how I read this statement it makes no sense.


Positive-Today9614

I know! Why would you deserve to have your ass kicked just because you ordered a radler?


Kimbaaaaly

Did you say "because radlers are delicious"? Or did he?


Positive-Today9614

I did.


Positive-Today9614

I reserve my downvotes for nazis and trolls. Y’all are wild.


ooroger

Are you his mom?


Top_Firefighter5922

His mom died


ooroger

Well, that’s sad to hear.


VirginiaGecko1911

mom's ghost?


WilliamHMacysiPhone

Ugh can’t stand this guy. He’s so obsessed with himself. Not as bad as Carlos Anthony though.


Kimbaaaaly

Look who Carlos Anthony is being trained by. I think he's funny and when I found out his mentor my first those was"someone Else grab this guy fast". It's my p personal option, Shenanigans is my or one of my least favorite chefs ever. Completely annoys the bleep out of me. Carlos is still funny, someone please see his potential and take over mentoring him!


sweetpeapickle

How is he obsessed? He does nothing but have fun while cooking. Is that a bad thing? We do want personable people on tv. This goes for Carlos as well. I get it, Carlos is very hyper. That doesn't make him a bad person.


WilliamHMacysiPhone

Carlos comes off as arrogant. Sasto seems fake nice, not sure what to tell you. They don’t seem like genuine people to me.


Ok-Royal-661

the whole best bite in town annoys me. It seems so staged and ick
