🔥 From Streets to the Kitchen: Graeme Stirling on Surviving Gangs, Addiction & the Real Cost of Chef Life 🍳💔In this unflinching episode of Social Sessions, I sit down with Graeme Stirling – a chef who’s been through the fire.Graeme opens up about his teenage years caught up in gangs and chaos, the spiral into addiction, and how he eventually found his way into professional kitchens. The money can be good, the adrenaline is high, but the industry’s relentless pressure often fuels the same demons many are already fighting.We go deep on the addiction and mental health crisis hitting chefs and hospitality workers hard – long hours, high stress, easy access to alcohol and drugs, and a culture that glorifies grinding through the pain.Now clean, sober, and speaking out, Graeme is on a mission to break the silence and push for real change and better support in catering and hospitality.If you’ve ever worked in a kitchen, know someone who has, or want the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to survive in this industry, this one’s for you.👉 Hit SUBSCRIBE for more raw, real conversations👍 LIKE if this resonates💬 COMMENT: What’s the toughest part of working in hospitality for you?#ChefLife #HospitalityMentalHealth #ChefAddiction #AddictionRecovery #KitchenStruggles #ChefBurnout #HospitalityWorkers #MentalHealthAwareness #GraemeStirling #SocialSessions #ChefCulture #RecoveryJourneyJoin this channel to get access to perks and become part of Social Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyXvWIWVXvGClaUV-EnYsUQ/join Hosted on Acast.
