👩🍳 MEET THE STAFF: JORENE “JOEY”!
This week, we’re introducing you to Joey, one of the faces behind the scenes making things happen in our kitchen! 🐍🧡
When Joey isn’t at Copperhead’s, you’ll most likely find her spending time with her 5-year-old daughter, who just started kindergarten this year!
Now for some Joey facts…
Joey didn’t originally want to be a cook. Her dream was to be a psychologist because she says she “loves learning about how the human brain works.” Although psychology was the original plan, Joey has been cooking her whole life and has found joy in putting a delicious meal out for others to enjoy!
I asked Joey what food she’d love to add to our menu, and without hesitation she said A GYRO because she loves gyros herself. Sooo… don’t be surprised if Joey gets her way and you eventually see a gyro on the menu. 👀
Her least favorite menu item? The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich — and not because she doesn’t like it. According to Joey, “the breading always likes to fall off for me.” 😂 Apparently the breading has a personal vendetta against Joey.
And finally, Joey’s favorite TV series is Orange Is the New Black.
Which honestly explains the psychologist dream a bit more but also somehow makes us wonder a little more….😂
So there you have it — Joey: gyro enthusiast, Nashville chicken breading victim, and OITNB superfan.
Next time you see her, say hey! Just don’t ask her to make the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. 😂
