COMPETITION: World Rice Championship
Chef Joel Hassanali’s passion for food is rooted in his experience traveling, exploring, and cooking exquisite cuisine from all over the world. Born in Trinidad, Joel’s love of cooking stemmed from watching and helping his parents run a restaurant in the Caribbean. “I moved to the States when I was 11 years old and grew up around the incredible food scene in New York. I later studied culinary arts and have had the pleasure of traveling the country to gain experience working under some of the best celebrity chefs in the nation, including James Beard Chef Sherry Yard.”
