Joe Bastianich was born four years before his parents bought their first restaurant, Buonavia in Forest Hills ,Queens. When he was eleven years old, his parents had already sold their two restaurants, at the same time, launch their flagship one, called Felidia(a merge of their first names) in Manhattan. He had received his B.A. in Boston and started working with his parents. That was when he convinced them to partner with him in 1993 to open up Becco, which was highly successful and was what led them to open more restaurants. Teaming up with Mario Batali( the one in the picture next to Joe), they had set up 9 more restaurants, which are still standing strong today, and established three wineries, as well as written books about wine. He currently resides in Greenwich where he currently resides with his wife and three kids. I can proudly tell you that this was not his original figure; like Graham, he was recently overweight and suffering from certain health issues. Thus, he took part in several marathons and triathlons, with the most recent one placing him 1,428th out of 1,918. Now, as I have said, he is currently the host of Masterchef Junior and I hope that he would do well as a judge because he had still managed to maintain his death stare despite five years into being a judge on Masterchef( once during the italian version).
