What We're About

Chef Life Radio

Empowering Chefs for Success in the #NewHospitalityCulture.

"We at Chef Life Radio believe that:

Working in a kitchen should be demanding; it shouldn't have to be demeaning.

It should be hard, it just doesn't have to be harsh.

We believe that it's possible to have more solidarity and less 'suck it up sunshine.

More Compassion and less CutThroat Island.

We believe in more partnership and less 'put up or shut up.

More community and less fuck you. "
