Joseph Oh started as a line cook at Nougatine and worked his way up to Chef de Partie at Jean-Georges, mastering every station across both kitchens. Joe possesses a relentless drive, an unwavering focus, and a profound passion for culinary excellence that truly sets him apart. It has been incredibly rewarding to watch his growth, and his promotion to Sous Chef is a direct testament to his hard work.
“My passion for becoming a chef started at home. Growing up, I was always inspired by my mom, who is the best chef I know. Some of my favorite memories are sitting around the table enjoying the meals she made with so much care and love. Watching her cook taught me that food is more than just nourishment—it brings people together, creates memories, and expresses culture and tradition. Those experiences sparked my desire to pursue a career in the culinary world.
I joined Jean-Georges because I wanted to be part of a team that shares the same passion for excellence and creating unforgettable dining experiences. Jean-Georges represents creativity, precision, and a deep respect for ingredients, values that I admire and strive to embody in my own work. Being part of such a renowned culinary organization gives me the opportunity to learn from talented professionals, challenge myself every day, and continue growing as a chef while contributing to something truly special.”
Please join us in congratulating Joe on this well-deserved milestone.
