Salty Joe

Salty Joe is a red fox who serves fries at a stand named "Salty Joe's Fries" in Witchyworld in Banjo-Tooie. Similarly, a rhino named Big Al sells burgers at another stand. Despite similar roles, Salty Joe is never seen talking with Big Al.

In order to access his stand, Banjo and Kazooie must hit the switch behind it. Salty Joe is rude and dislikes customers because they "always want things". Due to the poor conditions of Witchyworld, he is not used to customers, which makes him unsure what to say when he gives someone some fries, and also implies that he only bids them well because such comes out of his paycheck. He always has to fry up more fries due to having only one customer. He also gets angry with Kazooie when the latter hints at an impending rush in response. If Banjo visits Salty Joe without Kazooie, he asks if he can be Banjo's sidekick; it is implied that Salty Joe asked this to escape his job.

Although Salty Joe is not as incompetent and unhygienic as Big Al, the origin of his food is as disgusting. Despite this, Salty Joe's Fries has a four star rating, over Big Al's Burgers' one star. A nearby Signpost describes his fries as "a limp, greasy, tasteless alternative to a decent meal". In the character parade, Salty Joe sneezes on the fries, much like Big Al coughs on his burgers.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, a restaurant sign in Showdown Town reads "Salty Joe's Fish & Chips".
