🎉 Huge Congratulations to Chef Devon! 🎉
We are beyond proud to share that our very own Chef Devon, representing Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center, was honored and featured as one of the chefs in the Yes, Chef! Behind the Apron™️ calendar! 📸
Yes, Chef! Behind the Apron™️ is a powerful movement dedicated to humanizing, uplifting, and supporting culinary professionals — recognizing the real people behind the plates. What started as an artistic photography project has grown into a mission that champions mental health awareness and community care for chefs and hospitality workers, who often face burnout, stress, and unseen emotional challenges in the industry.
This initiative uses storytelling, photography, retreats, and community events to open conversations about mental health in the culinary world, remind chefs they are valued, and connect them with resources and support.
Chef Devon’s inclusion in the calendar is not just an honor — it’s a celebration of resilience, passion, and commitment to wellness both in and out of the kitchen. 💙
