|
By 21, Jeff Henderson was making up to $35,000 a week cooking and selling crack cocaine. By 24, he and been sentenced to 19 and a half years in prison on federal drug trafficking charges. It was an all-too-familiar story for a young man raised on the streets of South Central LA. But what happened next wasn't. Once inside prison, Jeff Henderson worked his way up from dishwasher to chief prison cook, and when he was released in 1996, he had found his passion and his dream - he would become a professional chef. Barely 5 years out of federal prison, he was on his way to becoming an executive chef, as well as being a sought after public speaker on human potential and a dedicated mentor to at-risk youth. A window into the streets and the fast paced kitchens of world-renowned restaurants, Cooked is a very human story with a very powerful message of commitment, redemption, and change
