Chef Joe Mokodanski

Newly Weds Foods, Corporate Chef, Chicago, IL

  • College: Northern Illinois University Dekalb IL
  • Born and raised in Chicago, I prefer Italian and Asian food and love a simple but flavorful recipe.
  • I started out in this industry as a dishwasher and worked my way up to Sous Chef but then decided I wanted to get into R&D side of food service. I took a part time job working for Weber Stephen LLC as a grill tester and was able to get a better understanding how consumer products are developed before hitting the market.
  • Cooking has always been a big part of my life and started cooking with my grandparents making dishes I had discovered in movies and television shows.
