Join us in welcoming – DORA – tomorrow night!
We’re excited to host Chef Joe Persico for a one-night-only Italian dinner pop-up.
Chef Joe Persico grew up in New Jersey, deeply immersed in the rich food culture of his Italian American family, learning to cook from his grandmother, Dora.
He began his culinary career in Denver, training under Chef Tommy Lee and gaining extensive knowledge of Japanese and East Asian cuisines. During his time there, he collaborated with fellow Denver chefs to host pop-ups inspired by his Italian upbringing.
In 2023, Chef Joe moved to the Hudson Valley to live on his family farm. He is currently the Sous Chef at Casa Susanna, working under James Beard Award-nominated Chef Efren Hernandez, where he focuses on traditional Mexican cuisine and locally sourced ingredients. His passions lie in seasonality, gardening, fermentation, and creating simple yet delicious food.
