I always enjoy seeing him judge and compete on Guys groceries games. His food looks so good. He just seems like such a genuine guy.

He's my friend's cousin! To be clear, I've never met him, but I always enjoy seeing him compete, espesh on Guy's Ranch Kitchen.

I really like him. He's such a great chef. And he seems very down to earth, approachable, genuine, and just an all around nice guy.

Right? And he has a good sense of humor!

Yes, he's so funny & unassuming. He strikes me as the type of person that if you were unhoused or any other way down on your luck, and you walked into his restaurant when he was there and asked if they had any food to give you, he would sit you down, feed you a meal and give you more food to go to feed you later. Jet Tila strikes me as being that way too

He is one of my favorites. His food looks great, he is funny, and doesn't have an over the top personality.

His dishes are more “home cook” level vs. “chef” level

It’s funny because he’s classically trained, but from his Instagram, he does seem to prefer homier foods like hot dogs and burgers.

I love watching him on GGG because his grounded sense of humor is a great balance to Guy and other judges’ wackiness. The pandemic GGG episode where he threw himself into his pool after he won was great!

He offered my friend cocaine once, at a bar in Phoenix.

Not saying that as either a good or bad thing, it’s just the only interaction I’ve heard about from someone I actually know.

I cannot personally doubt from his actual cooking, but he seems to have a very down-to-earth presence and appears to be smart, approachable, and genuine
