Nadia Giosia (born May 12, 1980), known professionally as Nadia G, is a Canadian celebrity chef, comedian, and punk rock singer who transitioned her web cooking series into a TV cooking show. She is the host of Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen, which has appeared on the Cooking Channel, Food Network Canada and Food Network UK. The show ran for three season on television, but started as a YouTube web-series. Starting July 14, 2014, she starred in a new series on Cooking Channel called Bite This with Nadia G. Giosia also launched a feminist rock, comedy, and food festival in Los Angeles in 2015 called Riot Grill and plays in punk rock band called The Menstruators.
Giosia was born in Montreal, Quebec to a family of Italian immigrants and grew up in the borough of St. Leonard, Quebec. Nadia's unique blend of comedy and cooking is a product of her upbringing where family gatherings typically centered around food and laughter. She has no professional training as a chef and is mostly self-taught with recipes developed from family tradition and trial and error. Bucking the traditional "monkish" demeanor of the celebrity chef, Giosia has a decidedly edgy look replete with tattoos and at least one pair of leather pants with a zip-out crotch.
In a Q&A interview on the Food Network's blog Nadia G. confesses that she hates baby corn and once ate so much buffalo jerky that she couldn't get her rings off.
Giosia currently lives in Los Angeles, CA.
Giosia began her entertainment career doing sketch comedy in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her breakthrough came when her YouTube web series Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen was picked up by Food Network Canada in 2010 and then the Cooking Channel in 2011. The show ran for three seasons on television. Giosia followed up Bitchin' Kitchen with Bite This with Nadia G, which premiered on Cooking Channel in 2014. In 2015 she launched the music, comedy and food festival Riot Grill, which featured all female-fronted acts including her punk rock band The Menstruators. Giosia has also worked on a variety of web projects including Getting Irritated with Nadia G, Creep Shaming with Nadia G, and Sick Kitchens.
