Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas
[link removed]
As an up-and-coming chef in Manhattan, Gregory Gourdet found himself
surrounded by addictive substances. After finishing an arduous shift
at one of the city's top restaurants, he'd frequently
spend the rest of the night partying, fueled by alcohol and cocaine.
Eventually, his substance use caught up with him, putting at risk the
thing he loved doing most: cooking. Yet, it still took Gregory an
additional two years to enter recovery.
It wasn't until he moved to Portland, Oregon and connected with
a community of other chefs who had experiences with addiction that he
was able to make the changes he needed. Now Gregory is committed to
maintaining his own health, as well as helping others with theirs,
whether by sharing nutritious recipes in his new cookbook,
Everyone's Table, or leading a support group of chefs in
recovery.
