"COOKING SO OLD SCHOOL IT'S NEW"

Hi! I'm Chef John Politte
Welcome to It's Only Food
I have dabbled in the culinary world for the last 40-odd years, working as a chef, bartender, bouncer, dishwasher, waiter, multi-level manager, teacher, media personality, food journalist, food photographer, curator of a seasonings and spice shop, podcaster, and cookbook author. I enjoy using my humor, wisdom, and experience to entertain and educate those who are curious or just intimidated in the kitchen.
Join me on a delicious journey filled with easy recipes, fun cooking tutorials on my YouTube channel, and chef-crafted seasonings from my shop. Let’s level up your cooking and have fun in the kitchen!
