judyjoo.jpgI don’t know why this is a story but for the pastry/reality TV loving Morgan Stanley employees in the group, prepare to muster some tepid excitement for one of your own: Bloomberg reports that Judy Joo, a girl who at one time worked for Morgan Stanley, might be on the UK edition of “Iron Chef.” Joo worked in fixed income research and derivative sales at the bank, before studying at the French Culinary Institute and then working as a pastry chef at Restaurant Gordon Ramsay. She’s also rumored to have once fed John Mack a Twinkie, while making the airplane noise.

    Is she a good joo or a bad joo?

  17. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 10:03 AM

    She looks like Tera Patrick and I would probably hit it with the lights on.

    I would like Joo taste my canoli

    I want to flush her head repeatedly in the toilet while making love to her behind. Hall & Oates will be playing at top volume, at some point "Highway to the Danger Zone" will be played for sure. Don't act like you haven't thought about this exact scenario before.

    -Not @33

  37. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:12 AM

    @36 not bitter at all, and the reason I know the joke sucked is because I actually have a sense of humor. that joke was funny to 80 year old jews with borscht belt humor.

  38. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:12 AM

    perhaps while on the show she will Sichuan a Wie Wang
    or put Sum Yung Giey sauce onto her Lobak while Shaoshing the whole time?

  39. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:14 AM

    Pastry chef = Gordon Ramsay cannoli prep
    Derivative Sales = GSE/Muni cannoli prep

  40. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:18 AM

    Did she have to study to prepare hamburgers?

  41. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:26 AM

    @40 she worked at a very prestigious restaurant. hardly burger prep. what do you do?

  42. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:40 AM

    She can play with my chopstick long time.

  43. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 11:49 AM

    Culinary Institute? I thought she had been to Jooliard…
    P.S. She should use my dragon balls for inspiration.

  48. Posted by volatilitysmile | January 14, 2010 at 12:06 PM

    Did she attend Gordon Bleu?

  49. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 12:09 PM

    @21 she'd be into that. She's a real screamer. Married to D Allen but really likes to get her freak on.

  50. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 12:10 PM

    Dessert = happy ending and warm towel?

  51. Posted by Private | January 14, 2010 at 12:26 PM

    I would love to play Pearl Harbor with her. I'll lay down and she can blow me up.

  54. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 1:00 PM

    I'll feed her my twinkie while making the motorboat sound

  55. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 1:04 PM

    i will put a noodle up her nose and pull it out of her ass.

  56. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 1:09 PM

    i bet she has nice feet

  57. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 1:29 PM

    I bet she has very small eyes.
    The makeup hid that fact.

    Damn, no hb for those things. Are they real?

  59. Posted by guest | January 14, 2010 at 4:03 PM

    I've worked in fixed income research at MS for many years, and I've never heard of her. I'm guessing she was really an admin if she worked at MS at all.

    @60. She went to Columbia University's School of Engineering. I don't think Ivy League grads work as secretaries on Wall Street…or do they?

  63. Posted by guest | January 15, 2010 at 3:33 AM

    I worked in Fixed income research with Judy, she's very smart but obviously figured out that all the money's in food not banking going forward. good luck! if you need an assistant, call me and kick some ass. some good Morgan Stanley publicity just takes the heat off Mr Mack and others…

  64. Posted by Slurp | January 15, 2010 at 4:01 AM

    I want her buns

    I worked with Judy at Morgan too. Bright girl. Nice too. Didn't even know she moved to London. She was on the analyst program then moved up to sales. Now, cooking on tv? Go girl!

  70. Posted by guest | January 21, 2010 at 7:17 AM

    Legitimate question- how are you all commenting at work? Don't the firms track all that somehow?

  71. Posted by Anonymous | April 8, 2010 at 4:17 PM

    I went through analyst training with Judy at Morgan. I’m still stuck in banking…. wish I could be Iron Chef too. Wow. Congratulations Judy!

  72. Posted by guest | April 27, 2010 at 7:58 PM

    I was Joo’s co-worker. Joo was a great sallesman and clever woman. She sued her boss for sexal harrasment and got millions from morgan stanley. Then she left from NY and wall street. Be carefull guys,she is gonna sue you.

  73. Posted by guest | May 3, 2010 at 11:35 AM

    I know this scene – the guys stand around her and JO on her face

  75. Posted by guest | June 1, 2010 at 1:00 AM

    Yeh, I know joo is a North Korean New Yorker. Sued and Got 2 millions from Morgan Stanley. Her boss was trapped. pitty ruined his life. Got marry with a rich guy. Only money. North Korean bitch.

  76. Posted by guest | June 1, 2010 at 11:12 PM

    Rmember,Joo got into her boss’s room during a bussines trip and temped,did excellent job in the bed. In couple of years joo found how to get better income than MS and took leagal action against her master and MS for sexal harrasment. Joo lost job but became a millioner.
    The North Korean secretary of MS became a iron bitch, so funny.

  77. Posted by Anonymous | July 30, 2010 at 10:38 AM

    Morgan Stanley Alumni Network just wrote a huge feature article on Joo praising her. Good for her. I wish her the best of luck. All of the above racist, sexist, immature, and false remarks are ridiculous.

  78. [...] Judy Joo? She’s the woman who interned at Goldman Sachs and then spent four years in fixed income research [...]

    joo worked for me.  she was smart, worked very hard, and had a lot of integrity.  the commentary above make me sick.
