Who is Joe Poon?
Master Chef Joseph Poon is known for his Asian Fusion Cuisine. He prepares fresh meals with simple elegance -- and a dash of adventure. From his contemporary and quirky venue in Philadelphia Chinatown, hosts private events, conducts Wok 'N Walk Tours of Philadelphia Chinatown and teaches cooking classes. In addition, he leads trips to China and participates in dozens of philanthropic events each year. He recently published the inspirational, autobiographical cookbook, Life is Short...Cooking is Fun.
His warmth and exuberance have earned him appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno, "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and TV Food Network's "The Best of…" A half page personality profile in The New York Times, said "In the last three decades, Joseph Poon has risen from impoverished immigrant to national culinary fame, known for his Asian fusion fare, his ability to carve bulbous watermelons and pumpkins into delicate swans, and his role in opening the center of the region's Asian community to the outside world." And an article in The James Beard Foundation newsletter stated, "The story of how Philadelphia Chef Joseph Poon got to where he is today could be the script of a Hollywood movie."
