Chef Jeff Update

THE CHEF JEFF PROJECT
The Chef Jeff Project follows Chef Jeff Henderson, a former prison inmate turned successful executive chef, as he attempts to transform the lives of six struggling young adults through the power of food. Nicknamed, “The Crew,” their task at hand is to work under Chef Jeff’s watchful eye at his new LA-based catering company, Posh Urban Cuisine. Along the way, the crew is given necessary skills to remake themselves and succeed, including appearance, attitude, respect, motivation and behavior. As an added incentive, if each of the crew members makes it though the project, then they will have the opportunity to receive scholarships from the International Culinary Schools at The Art Institutes to help them continue towards a culinary career. From catering assignments with high-profile clients like the cast of General Hospital and the LA Dodgers to personal meals with Chef Jeff’s family, the crew will get a new look at life and realize they have the tools to thrive despite the odds.

One of the crew members gets into an altercation at home, which results in Chef Jeff making a house call.

The crew receives a big surprise when Chef Jeff brings them to his hometown of Las Vegas!

Then they roll up their sleeves to deliver a delicious barbeque meal for Chef Jeff and his family.
