Jordan Andino - Malou

WHO: Jordan Andino is chef-owner of Malou, a new restaurant that offers Mediterranean cuisine through a Filipino lens, as well as other culinary projects.

ABOUT: Born in Toronto, Canada, Jordan Andino began his foray into the culinary world at the young age of 9 learning under his father. After moving to Manhattan Beach, CA, he traded in his surfboard to work in fine dining kitchens and attended Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration to grow his business acumen. Andino has honed his training and experience working at acclaimed restaurants including The French Laundry, Spago, and Jean Georges. 

Andino has rapidly gained clout as one of the freshest, most notable faces in New York City's culinary world. His hospitality skills and clean, unique flavors were an integral part of opening his Flip Sigi restaurants. A blend of classic Filipino cuisine and French technique, Jordan's cooking is an inspired tribute to his father and grandmother. Blending those elements with Spanish and Mexican vessels, he's created a unique signature profile. His vision for future projects is to build on his classic training in a relentless effort to bring Michelin recognition to Filipino cuisine.

Jordan’s youthful and dynamic demeanor, classical fine-dining training, international upbringing, and diverse culinary experiences check many boxes for companies looking to target audiences in all markets. In addition to hosting Late Nite Eats and Food Boats on Food Network/Cooking Channel, he is also a reoccurring judge on Food Network Canada’s Junior Chef Showdown, and is highly sought after for judge appearances on popular shows including Chopped, Rachael Ray, The Today Show, Beat Bobby Flay, Worst Cooks In America, Cooks vs. Cons, and Recipe for Deception.
