Joe Cash
In 2022, Chef Joe Cash returned to his hometown to launch his first solo venture, Scoundrel, which quickly garnered acclaim. Named one of Esquire’s ‘Best New Restaurants in America’ for 2023, it also earned a semifinalist nod from the prestigious James Beard Foundation for ‘Best New Restaurant’ this year.’
Before returning to Greenville, SC, Cash spent years in the world’s top kitchens, including James Beard award-winning chef and restaurateur Thomas Keller’s acclaimed Three-Michelin star and New York Times four-star Per Se in New York City, as well as Chef Rene Redzepi’s Two-Michelin star Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark, which famously held the position of number one restaurant in the world for multiple years.
In 2014, Cash returned to New York from Denmark to become the Executive Sous Chef at hospitality powerhouse Major Food Group’s flagship, Torrisi Italian Specialties. When Major Food Group won the bid to bring new life to the iconic Midtown Manhattan skyscraper, The Seagram Building, Cash was tapped as the Executive Chef for The Pool, Major’s premiere dining destination specializing in seafood with a modern French flair.
Cash’s Scoundrel – most recently spotlighted by Southern Living among the “Best Restaurants in Greenville” – welcomes diners Tuesday through Saturday to what Eater called a “voluptuous French brasserie.”
