Joe is a Los Angeles-trained chef whose cooking is grounded in seasonality, classical European technique, and a deep respect for ingredients.

He honed his craft across some of LA's most defining kitchens, drawing from Italian tradition, whole-animal cooking, and modern French precision to shape a style that is disciplined, ingredient-driven, and deceptively simple.

At FOXES, Joe turns his focus from scale to intimacy. The result is thoughtful, personal cooking that feels effortless, inviting, and quietly memorable.
