Flavor of Love, I Love NY, A shot at love........these are the names of reality shows on TV. These are also names of reality shows that I DESPISE. There is no moral high ground on these shows, it amazes me the things someone will do for 15 minutes of fame and money.
The show is called:
The Chef Jeff Project
www.foodnetwork.com/the-chef-jeff-project
*Chef Jeff had a hard up-bringing and actually ended up in prison. He became a chef in the prison and eventually changed his life and wants to know help others.
Watch it* watch it* watch it*
I only caught the 1st episode but, this chef has taken high risk young adults and is teaching them to cook, cater and EARN (not win) a scholarship to a culinary arts school.
Boy o boy, I love things like this especially with young people and young adults. There was a portion of the show where they did some background on the young adults and the stories were so sad. One of the girls is 23 yrs old and has 4 children.
But my favorite part was when the chef handed them their white chef jackets with their names monogrammed on them: Chef Jeff handed them theirs jackets and the young people walked out the put them on... when these guys and girls walked back into the kitchen their heads were held so high.... they looked so proud (it made me cry). I love it. The countenance of these guys and girls changed and it made me think about how no matter a persons age, everyone has a need for affirmation. Everyone wants to know they are important and everyone wants to feel purpose.
I also got a chuckle at myself bc I was right away thinking "hmm... I should open a kitchen and do this".
If you get a chance to catch an episode- it may just inspire you!
Have a wonderfully blessed day
-missa
