Great conversation with Kris Hall, who is the founder of the Burnt Chef Project, talking about the mental health issues of many people in the Hospitality Industry.   It doesn't need to be how it has been in the past.  There is focus now more than ever to change the culture and stresses in the industry.   

Joanne Irizarry is a chef in the industry that knows what it is like to deal with mental health issue, substance abuse and suicide.  She spoke with us about what it's like in the restaurant industry and why she started "A Safe Place Inside Your Head" to help people who are looking for an online community for mental health support.

Passionate, creative, and undeniably driven, Kyla Tuori’s culinary career began at the highly acclaimed professional chef school George Brown College. Starting her career in fine dining coupled with a marketing background from University of Guelph, made Unilever Food Solutions an ideal fit.
What began as an internship evolved into a career with the prestigious company, and the opportunity to work amongst Unilever’s talented and experienced chefs throughout North America and the Globe.
Through Chef Tuori’s, almost decade long career with Unilever, she has been the recipient of the OHI’s Top 30 Under 30 Award, affiliated with a variety of Culinary associations, and on the advisory board of charitable organizations, such as Community Outreach/Second Chance, which changes the lives of people in need by creating reliable connections and opportunities.
