ABOUT CHEF JOE FREEMOND:
Born in Southern California but raised in Denver, Chef Joe Freemond grew up with parents who would plan vacations around their dining destinations and who always exposed their son to as wide a range of cuisines as possible. Joe began his career at the age of fifteen as a dishwasher and sandwich cook at a bakery and panini shop in Cherry Creek. When Joe got to the University of Kansas for college his interest in cooking really flourished. He experienced some life-changing travel to Israel, Italy, Kenya, and Tanzania that really helped open up his culinary understanding. Time spent cooking in Rome with a celebrated chef who happened to be a long-time family friend is one of Joe's most instrumental periods in his career. During his time studying at KU, Joe started to gain some invaluable industry experience as a line cook at the historic Eldridge Hotel and as a meat cutter at the Community Mercantile in Lawrence, KS. Towards the end of his time at college, Joe was introduced to the founder of Il Mondo Vecchio Chef Mark DeNittis, and soon after Joe was helping out at IMV every time he was back home in Denver.
