EP #45 Finding Sérénité: Chef Todd Whitman's Journey to Recovery through Cooking

Chef Todd Whitman is a graduate of the Edwins Culinary Leadership Institute, a place where formerly incarcerated people can find a second chance through the culinary arts. Now, as executive chef at the French fine dining restaurant Serenite in Medina, he leads other men and women through a similar program in partnership with the Recovery Center of Medina County. Todd is candid about his experiences before he became clean and sober. He's hopeful that telling his story will help others know that second chances are in reach for everyone and the culinary field is a rewarding path to success. In his voice you will hear gratitude and enthusiasm for life that is inspiring to all of us. Located a short walk off the square in Medina, Ohio, Serenite is a restaurant serving classic French cuisine, staffed by courageous men and women who are on the path to self-improvement.
