On Mental Health in The Kitchen with Chef Chris Cosentino | Elevated
March 5, 2016
After decades of work that led to international acclaim—the title of Top Chef Master, appearances on countless TV shows, the opening of his dream restaurant centered around whole animal cookery—Cockscomb chef Chris Cosentino found himself caught between two sparring halves of his own mind. In this episode of Elevated, Chris speaks out about the greatest taboo in the culinary world: mental health, and its pervasive reach in this industry.
