Joe Gatto: Life From Scratch

Chef Joe Gatto, celebrated host of the hit TV show From Scratch on Pluto TV, joins Michelle to share his inspiring journey from filmmaker to chef. Joe began his career in filmmaking, but a desire to start a family led him to leave the fast-paced life of Los Angeles and pursue his passion for cooking. Inspired by his culinary idol, Emeril Lagasse, Joe made the leap into the world of scratch-made cooking and never looked back. Today, Joe is a private chef to A-list clients, including Boston Celtics and Red Sox players, the author of the acclaimed cookbook Seriously From Scratch, and the host of an NPR cooking show. On this episode, he talks about his dedication to making everything from scratch—from pasta to cheese—and how this philosophy shapes his cooking and storytelling. Joe also shares highlights from hosting Chew on That, a podcast where he interviews top chefs, creators, celebrities, and athletes. Listen in for a conversation about chasing dreams, embracing change, and why food is the ultimate way to connect people. Learn more about Chef Joe Gatto Get to know Michelle!
