The Burnt Chef Project

In an industry renowned for its creativity, passion, and relentless pursuit of excellence, the hospitality world often demands extraordinary dedication and resilience from its professionals.

However, behind the scenes of the vibrant venues and culinary successes lies a stark reality—one of mental health struggles, burnout, and emotional exhaustion.

The Burnt Chef Project was founded in 2019 with a mission to confront and address challenges head-on, burning the silence surrounding mental health in the hospitality sector and providing tangible tools and resources to tackle the alarmingly high rates of mental illness within the sector.
