Who is Joshua Weissman?
Joshua Weissman was born in Los Angeles, California USA, on 9 January 1996 – his zodiac sign is Capricorn and he holds American nationality. He’s a YouTuber, food blogger and vlogger, author of cookbooks, and a chef, who’s probably known best for his eponymous YouTube channel which he launched on 28 February 2014, and which today numbers close to four million subscribers and more than 360 million views of all his videos combined. Joshua’s focused on uploading videos related to food and cooking – his most popular video “Making The Popeyes Chicken Sandwich At Home, But Better” has been watched over nine million times since 7 November 2019.
Early life and education
Joshua was raised in Los Angeles, but hasn’t spoken about his father nor the siblings he perhaps has, which is why many people believe him to be an only child, and that his father abandoned the family when Joshua was still a baby.
When he was three years old Joshua became interested in cooking, and his mother started to teach him. As he was growing older, he often cooked for himself and ate a lot of food, and because he became overweight, Joshua was bullied at both his elementary and high schools. Aged 16 in 2012, he decided he would turn his life around, and managed to lose around 100lbs (45kgs).
This was also when he began running his own food blog Slim Palate, onto which he wrote about healthy foods and cooking in general.
Joshua matriculated in 2014, and then chose not to pursue a college degree, but to focus on his career as a chef and a social media star.
Not long after he matriculated from a local high school, Joshua moved to Austin in Texas, and from there released “The Slim Palate Paleo Cookbook”, which offered recipes for all the foods he ate while trying to lose weight. He was hired at the restaurant Uchiko as their lead chef, and after around three years there, in 2019 Joshua decided to focus solely on being a social media star, and quit the job.

One of Joshua’s popular video series but which he no longer makes, is “Fermentation Friday” which featured him preparing fermented recipes.
