In 1996 he brought his signature style of intensity, vibrant flavors and California fresh cuisine to the kitchen of the world-famous Pebble Beach Resorts, Stillwater Bar & Grill. Known for its celebrity clientele and incredible views of the renowned golf links, this restaurant was the perfect match for Chef Todd’s talent and amazing flavors.

On his sister’s recommendation, Joey was simply looking into attending culinary school, when he fell in love with cooking and enrolled immediately after high school at the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. He loved the rush and competitiveness of cooking school; the idea of learning the same skills and fighting for the same spot was a constant motivation to hold himself to the highest standard. Chef Joey’s career was launched while attending culinary school. He began working for Wolfgang Puck’s Spago in Palo Alto, California, as a stage. Joey credits Spago’s then chef, Aram Mardigian, with seeing his potential and paying special attention to him, teaching Chef Joey everything he knew about being a restaurant chef. Chef Joey was promoted steadily during the next three years at Spago, starting as a saucier and leaving as Banquet Chef when the restaurant closed in 2007. Joey worked for Rolland Passot and Brian Berling as Executive Chef of Tanglewood on Santana Row in San Jose, CA, before starting with Chez TJ in Mountain View, California, as Sous Chef in 2009, becoming Executive Chef in 2011. While he was chef at Chez TJ, Joey has received 1 Michelin Star in 2011 and 2012, Zagat’s 30 under 30, and the San Francisco Chronicle’s Rising Star Chef Award. After almost two years at Wayfare Tavern, Chef Joey has moved on to open his own restaurant, Cadence, in San Francisco where he will serve as Executive Chef and partner. Chef Joey has a straightforward food philosophy: don’t overdo it. Born and raised in California’s South Bay area, Joey grew up eating simple food: mom’s pork chops and potatoes and hamburger pie. Many of his dishes are sparked by nature and the world around him. Following his belief that it is harder to show restraint, Joey’s menus let the ingredients do the talking; he surprises diners with a new spin on foods they might already know. Chef Joey loves being a chef most because he never stops learning and improving; he can never know enough about our dynamic culinary world. Chef Joey currently resides in the Oakland, CA, area with his fiancé, a source of much inspiration, Jessamine. 30 CHILI AND TOMATO BRAISED TASTEFUL SELECTIONS™ SWEET SURPRISE POTATOES INGREDIENTS 2 LBS Tasteful Selections Sweet Surprise Mini Sweet Potatoes 32 OZ Canned chopped tomatoes 16 OZ Water 3 TBSP Salt DIRECTIONS In a heavy bottom pan, heat the canola oil and render out the sausage until crispy.

Cook the pudding mixture over low heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until thickened, about 15 minutes. Do not allow it to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the butter and vanilla. Scrape the pudding into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it into the surface to make an airtight seal and prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until well chilled, about 1 hour. *Best practice is to turn warm pudding into serving dishes immediately, then cool.
