Joe Sevier head shot - Epicurious

Joe Sevier

Senior SEO Editor, Cooking

Following stints at StarChefs and Saveur, Joe joined Epicurious in 2016 where he’s written about how to make the very best biscuits, the singularity of third-culture cooking, and the ultimate cream cheese frosting. Currently, he works across both BA and Epi as the senior SEO editor for cooking stories, which just means he tries to make our recipes and essays on technique easier to find whenever you’re ready to cook something. A graduate of the French Culinary Institute (now the International Culinary Center), Joe has worked as a professional chef—and sometimes bartender—in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Alabama, and Tennessee (where he grew up), including as a collaborator in the short-lived Eat Your Heart Out Supper Club pop-up, which paired a multi-course dinner with a rotating cast of storytellers and comedians.
