In 2010, Bastianich's burgeoning fame as one of Manhattan's top restaurateurs led him to television, where he was tapped to be one of the judges - alongside Gordon Ramsay and Graham Elliot - on Fox's MasterChef, in which talented (but non-professional) home cooks compete in a series of culinary challenges. After learning the ropes from his folks, Bastianich partnered with his mother, Lidia Bastianch, and fellow chef Mario Batali to found Batali & Bastianich Restaurant Group, a wildly successful venture that oversaw numerous successful restaurants in New York City and beyond. Born in Queens, New York, Bastianich grew up in a family that celebrated food - not surprising given that his parents owned and ran their own restaurant. If ever someone was destined to be a celebrity chef, it's Joe Bastianich.
