You know, like, you can't make a move without feeling some kind of way about yourself, you know, but I had this will and desire to beat it and to win.
Chef Chris Scott, renowned for his stint on 'Top Chef', isn't just known for his unique Southern cuisine. In this episode of 'Addiction Talk', he opens up about a different kind of heat in the kitchen - the rampant substance use that plagues the restaurant industry. Scott paints a vivid picture of a world where alcohol, cocaine, and marijuana were as common as salt and pepper.
He calls it the 'trinity' - a dangerous cocktail that fueled long shifts and high stress. But when personal tragedy struck and his drinking spiraled out of control, Scott hit rock bottom. It was only through the support of his family and the sober community that he found his way back. Now, nearly a decade into his recovery, Scott is not only thriving in his culinary career but also using his platform to advocate for change in the industry.
He emphasizes the importance of community and self-love in his journey to sobriety, sharing valuable lessons he's learned along the way. Whether you're in the restaurant business or just looking for an inspiring story of resilience, Scott's candid account is a must-listen.
