EPISODE 0026 - Joey Camacho - Konjoe Burger Bar

Joey Camacho is the owner and managing partner of Konjoe Burger Bar. Born in Saipan and raised on Guam with a diverse Japanese/Chamorro and multi-ethnic background. Konjoe currently has four locations in the City of Los Altos at State Street Market, Santa Clara at Levi’s Stadium , SAP Center and another cloud kitchen in San Jose, California.

Joey brings his vast knowledge from working in finance to culinary school and cooking in kitchens in Hawaii, Guam and California. I’ve always wanted to talk to Joey since I tasted his delicious food at the former location where it all started at San Pedro Square Market in San Jose.

We go over the history of Konjoe, growing up in a melting pot of cultures, trying new food, all things Japan and of course his latest offerings, advice and recommendations.
