SOHO’s Chef Joe was under the bright lights of the Good Day Atlanta set yesterday morning. With host Suchita Vadlamani, he showed viewers how to whip up a few fun sliders, perfect for summer parties, as well as a salad, dessert and watermelon drink – everything needed for a light, savory summer meal. Here's a link to the segment if you’re interested in seeing Chef Joe in action.
