Chef Jordan Andino Talks Season 2 of 'Late Nite Eats'
*By Madison Alworth*
For many, late-night snacking is a guilty indulgence, but for chef Jordan Andino, it's a job.
Andino, the host of the Cooking Channel's "Late Night Eats," is returning for the show's second season, which will follow him across the country ー to Boston, Denver, Memphis, and Orlando, Fla., among other destinations ー while he searches for the best after-dinner snacks.
But you won't find the chef at popular joints that have already been highlighted on Yelp ($YELP); Andino is on a quest for something different.
“Our whole point, you go in ー it's a team effort, everyone selects ー you try to find the places that are good and that haven't quite been discovered yet," Andino said Friday in an interview on Cheddar.
Andino is known for more than his palette. The New York City-based cook was named one of the "Sexiest Male Chefs" by People magazine in 2017, a distinction that he finds both flattering and comical.
"It's nice to be recognized for things other than my cooking," he said. "I think I’ve done well cooking in my life, I've worked at great restaurants, worked for great chefs, however every now and then you gotta meet the guests out front, and I guess they get surprised when there’s someone who isn’t a large human that has just been been eating and consuming their food all the time."
But Andino admitted his title comes with a price.
"It’s funny, and I will say my friends give me a lot of flack for it," he said.
"Late Night Eats" airs every Thursday at 10 pm ET through Nov. 15.
