JOEL DANIEL - Chef / Kitchen Manager

Our resident chef of Nature’s Express, Joel has been cooking since he was 9 years old. Joel looks like he’s 37 and acts like he’s 21; you can try to do the math but his age will never be revealed. His favorite thing to say is “hey guys, here’s the new best way to make ______” (insert some food item).

Her personal life and her professional are so similar that she doesn’t realize that she’s even working half of the time.
