About One Bite Foodie

​

One Bite Foodie is the brainchild of Joseph Haecker, a serial entrepreneur and DIY food enthusiast who’s been obsessed with the art of cooking since childhood. At just eight years old, Joseph was sent to Space Camp by his parents, where he built a solar BBQ from cardboard and foil, using the sun to cook his first hot dog. That early fascination with culinary experimentation became a lifelong passion for Joseph, shaping his unique approach to food and flavor.

 

In April 2021, Joseph faced a major setback—he lost his sense of taste and smell during his first bout of COVID-19. But instead of letting it slow him down, Joseph adapted, developing a sharp focus on food textures and a renewed appreciation for sweet and savory flavors. This new perspective fueled his passion for food even more, leading him to travel the world in search of local flavors. Whether he’s cooking meals for friends in hostels or uncovering hidden gems in small communities, Joseph's love for exploring global cuisines has been the inspiration behind One Bite Foodie.

 

Launched with the mission to connect people through authentic food reviews, One Bite Foodie empowers its members to shine a spotlight on local eateries that deserve recognition. By taking just one bite and sharing an honest review, members can influence foodies worldwide and help uncover hidden gems that were once only known to the locals. Your next review might just be the turning point for a small mom-and-pop shop, bringing them into the spotlight for the world to see.

 

Joseph’s vision is simple: connect the world through food exploration. He believes that by giving authentic, transparent reviews, One Bite Foodies can help others step outside their comfort zones and try something new. So, join the movement, take your bite, and share your review—you might just help change the future of a small restaurant while igniting a passion for food in others.
