His savage review of the UK pub chain Wetherspoons set social media ablaze.
And Joe Jonas showed that he is more akin to finer dining as he headed to the swanky Latin American eatery Amazonico with his brother Nick and Priyanka Chopra on Wednesday night.
The singer, who went viral after admitting the budget eatery ‘wasn’t for him,’ was seen arriving at the high-end restaurant, which boasts prices that would make Wetherspoons regulars balk.
Joe cut a casual figure as he arrived at the restaurant with his famous sibling in tow, with the group enjoying dinner before heading to a nearby casino.
Priyanka showed off her svelte physique in a form-fitting purple dress with a brown faux fur coat as she arrived hand-in-hand with husband Nick.

Amazonico, which boasts an array of Latin American cuisine, certainly holds up to its reputation with its high prices, with one wagyu fillet steak costing an eye-watering £110, without sides.
While there are cheaper alternatives such as one £38 beef rib eye and £30 marinated chicken, Wetherspoons fans could get a similar meal, with a drink included, for less than £20.
Meanwhile bottles of champagne begin at £110, cocktails begin at £14 while a glass of white wine starts at £12
The outing comes after Joe offered a scathing review of Wetherspoons when he was quizzed on what he thought of the British pub chain in a new interview.
The Jonas Brothers singer shocked hosts Jamie Theakston and Zoe Hardman when he appeared on Heart Breakfast on Tuesday morning by revealing he had previously visited a branch of the pub.
The topic came up when Joe tried to explain what American eatery Waffle House was, and he compared it to the popular UK chain Wetherspoons.
Jumping in, Theakston referenced Jonas’s star status, and quipped: ‘I’m going to pull you up there, you’ve never been to a…[Wetherspoon].’
Jonas, who is married to British actress Sophie Turner, insisted that he had been to a Wetherspoons before during his time in the UK.

However when he was asked what he thought of it, Jonas gave a thinly veiled response and said: ‘Uhm, I liked other places…’
He continued: ‘Let’s just say it wouldn’t be my first go-to.
‘Uhm, yeah but you know, for us growing up when we were touring in the States we were too young to have a pint after the show and kick it with our friends so we would go to the only place open late which was a Waffle House.
‘They serve breakfast items all day and we would sit there and talk and it became more of this safe place for us, so there’s other places like that for anyone in the world.’
Joe is clearly used to spending his hard-earned cash in more sophisticated venues while in London, after he was spotted arriving at Scott’s in Mayfair this week.
The father of two was seen with his wife Sophie at the swanky joint as they joined his brothers for a spot of fine dining ahead of one of their UK gigs.
On Thursday, many Wetherspoons enjoying some food or drink at Baxter’s Court, a pub in east London hit back at Joe’s comments, with one saying: ‘I don’t know who that is, but if he doesn’t like it then he doesn’t have to go does he?’
Val Henriques, 52, sat happily in the Spoons, with an empty plate in front of him. The gas engineer, from Hackney, told MailOnline: ‘He has a mouth so he has the right to say it, but I like it here.
‘I came today because I was hungry and I know there will be good food and I get a drink with the deal. There’s nothing wrong with it.’
Wesley Jason, who works in construction, said it was unfair for someone to criticise the pub chain considering they are from another country.
The 32-year-old, who lives in the Hackney area, said: ‘Everyone has a right to say what they think, but I don’t think it’s fair to come over and criticise, especially for a place that is accessible like this.
‘It’s a place for everyone – you get families here and it’s affordable. The food is good and you get what you pay for.’
Another customer, Louise Smith, 42, said he had always enjoyed visitng Wetherspoon. The Royal Mail worker from Hackney told MailOnline: ‘It’s great, it’s close by and is accessible for people. I wouldn’t criticise it.’
Brian Mcdowall, an environmental operator from nearby Bethnal Green, loves the community atmosphere the pub has to offer.
The 62-year-old said: ‘I love it here. It’s great for all my friends, we all meet here. It is perfect, it is close to the bus and there is a great atmosphere.
‘There are great people. It’s a real social community place.’
For Mel Gibbons, who had brought her family for lunch, the chain is better off without Jonas.

The 54-year-old teaching assistant, from Cambridge Heath, told MailOnline: ‘I don’t know who that is, but if he doesn’t like it then he doesn’t have to go does he?’
She added: ‘It’s good for me and my friends. We get together a lot here with the kids. They love it. It is a way we can go out for a meal and it not cost a bomb.’
Another happy customer, Jerry Mitchell, 67, who is retired and lives in Hackney, said: ‘What’s not to like? You can have a cheap pint with your mates, bring the family.
‘They’ve got pints here for under £2: where else can you go to get that? We all haven’t got the same amount of money as a singer!’
