Spotlight Series: Cooking with Chef Joe "JJ" Johnson

Off the Record with Georgette Pierre

For my cooking enthusiasts and foodies alike, you may have seen him as the winner of the first season of Bravo TV’s Rocco’s Dinner Party. Inspired at a young age to become a chef, Joe Johnson lends his talents as executive sous chef of a dining institute among other things. Creating menus for underground super-club events, he’s also the co-founder of culinary social networking site, http://urpalate.com, with plans to launch his own lifestyle drink the early part of this year. Deemed The Golden Chef by some of his friends and closest peers, Chef JJ joins me to discuss his success after winning on Bravo TV, the launch of his new lifestyle drink, and what separates his cooking style from the rest.
