When you find a problem in the world that needs to be confronted but it falls outside your area of expertise, what should you do? Start over? Go back to school and get a whole new degree? Born in Naples and raised in Milan, Chef Bruno Abate spent several successful decades in the food business before finding in himself a passion to reform the American prison system. But how? His solution was to utilize his existing skill set to create Recipe for Change, a culinary arts training program inside Cook County Jail, providing a solution to the problem of inmates released without job skills or self-confidence. We couldn’t be more excited or honored to feature Chef Bruno on our first episode of 2019, a year we hope will be marked by many more conversations with and about using creativity to change the world for good.
