Three months have barely passed since the opening of Smokin’ Joe, a Western BBQ & Grill store, and owner Joseph Yeo, 29, has already entered the Top 10 (North Zone) in the SG Food Masters 2017 Competition.

Joseph revealed, “I offer restaurant food at hawker prices. The ingredients I use are of high quality, such as Antarctic cod, Kurobuta pork and Wagyu beef.”
