We have a new BetterTogether segment highlighting community heroes, starting with a New Jersey chef JohnBDias introduces us to, who's using his culinary skills to feed the hungry and so much more.
Today's hero is an accomplished chef from New Jersey who's using his culinary skills to feed the hungry and do so much much. He has decades of experience cooking professionally, but it's what the well-known, retired chef has done outside the kitchen he is most proud of. He has dedicated his life's work to helping the homeless and less fortunate.
He paid to have a state-of-the-art-kitchen and food pantry installed, which now serve almost 200 families in need a month. He used his inheritance to pay for it, after his parents died. "It sums up everything that my mother would have wanted," he said."She taught me everything about cooking, she's the one who sent me to culinary school."
"Every recipe has a personal story about my life," he said."Because in 2010, I was paralyzed from the waist down after back surgery. I could not walk and I didn't think I would ever cook again."
