Jordan Andino has received a lot of cooking.
Filipino-Canadian chef, restorer and television personality has been busy in the studio cuisine, serving as a judge in two new shows-“Halloween Bakeshop” and “Holiday Bakeshop”-will premiere this fall on Canada’s fragrance network. At the same time, he is in partnership with Filipino chef Francis Toletino in the Union, a new open restaurant in Manila, Philippines, on November 8.
Meanwhile, Andino remains the cuisine director of Continuum Wellness Club, an ulralxe gym and health withdrawal at the NYC Greenwich Village. And he is always in the dad’s job, thinking about his adorable 2-year-old daughter Malou with his wife almost four years, Erin Andino.
Of all those jobs, Gourmand says that paternity is the most important. “I think emotional about it,” he tells Alexa. “For me, it means making sure the person you are growing up is the best contributor to the world – so someone who is thoughtful, careful, proactive, ambitious, loving and attentive.”
From a young age, his parents – Toronto’s chef and restorer Richard Andino and model and actress Joanna Garel – put in a mentality of achievement. And they were strict. “My father taught me the meaning of the tireless work and the meaning of a dollar,” says Tastemaker. “The immigrant mentality is: Run and work as hard as you can to do better for the next generation.”
The TV chef was born in Toronto, then moved to Manhattan Beach, Calif., With his mother when he was 9 years old. He developed a love to browse and skateboarding in the golden state, and a passion for food while making pastries, pizza and hot apps in his father’s kitchens every summer. After attending the famous hotel school of Cornell University, he worked in the highest restaurants including French laundry, Spago and Jean-Georges. In 2015, he opened Flip Sigi, a rapid casual Taqueria in the Philippine in Greenwich Village, adding later to Agoikago and Jersey City, Nj. In 2023, he discovered Carriage House, a new American restaurant with global influences, on NYC 10th Street in West. Over the past year, he closed those places to focus on TV and other projects.
With his expertise of the food world, the gift of error, the behavior down the earth and the dazzling smile, Andino is a natural camera. He has been waiting for shows, including “Cook at all costs” by Netflix and “Late Nite Eats” of Channel, judged in series by “chopped” to “Cooks Worst in America” and appeared in programs like “Beat Bobby Flay”, “Rachael Ray” and “Selena Gomez” chef. He also runs a busy business hotel event for brands like Versace and Oscar de la Renta and has worked as a personal cook for celebs, including Kyrie Irving and Kardashians. “They really were some of the best customers I have ever cooked because they are normal,” he tells the famous family. “They eat a lot! I love them.”
His latest screen attempt: Baking battles. Eight competitors will compete for a price of $ 25,000 in the two seasonal programs, which were received by Canadian actor Lauren Ash and co-judged with Kareem “Mr. Bake” Queeman. “The shows contain some of the best ovens I’ve ever seen,” Andino notes. “They found people who have tremendous attention to the details.”
Andino says he has evolved as a judge, giving more critical reactions to these programs than in the past. In other words, it strikes a balance between sweet and salty.
