Chef Joseph “jj” Johnson Chef
Joseph Johnson was born in 1984 in Long Island, New York, but spent his youth in the Poconos, where at the age of seven was inspired to become a Chef.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would Partner with Media Mogul Richard Parsons and famed Restaurateur Alexander Smalls on an award winning culinary adventure. But unlike any other country in the world, these dreams can come true in America.
It all started when JJ saw a commercial for The Culinary Institute of America, and told his mother that he wanted to become a Chef. But, it was only after watching his Puerto Rican grandmother serve up butternut squash soup and other ethnic dishes that he knew he had to.

The Heart to Start
Have you ever found yourself sitting on the doorsteps of destiny wondering what direction your feet should move toward? There are many paths that lead to your next destination of greatness, yet because there are countless options we often find ourselves stuck in a rut of indecision. The power rests in your ability to make a swift decision and detach from the outcome, detach from the fear of failure, detach from the opinion of others, detach from the disappointments, detach from the unknown and embrace the beauty that rests in the present moment.
