Meet Chef Joe

Thank you for being such an incredible part of my daughter’s wedding. The entire evening was more than we could have asked for.

I haven’t eaten that much at the same sitting in years, it was SOOO good!! Thank you! We would love to work with you and will be in touch.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chef Joe Youkhan for several years, both at my current venture, Dizzy Bird, and previously at Falasophy as well as Plato’s Kitchen. Chef Joe isn’t just a highly talented chef; he’s a true culinary partner who deeply understands how to translate vision into reality. His creative insights and practical expertise in menu development and kitchen operations have consistently elevated my businesses.  

What sets Chef Joe apart is that he doesn’t just create great recipes—(he does really great ones) but he also designs them in a way that makes sense operationally and financially.

Chef Joe is also a kitchen ninja—he’s got a deep well of knowledge and hands-on expertise when it comes to food, kitchen operations, and culinary systems. He brings just as much value in designing a dish as he does in designing the kitchen that produces it.

Chef Joe’s contributions have been invaluable to my businesses and a key ingredient in their success. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to meaningfully enhance their culinary offerings or operational excellence.

Joe, thank you so much for all you did for kids fighting cancer yesterday at Fired Up For Summer. There simply are not enough words to describe how thankful and grateful I am. Truly honored and humbled to call you friend.

Joe, it was a pleasure having you in our home to help us yesterday. You and chef Dave were a huge hit. The food was great and everyone enjoyed everything you made. It was a fun day, and you were a big part of it. Thanks for your efforts, and we will certainly do it again soon.
