Where Culinary Stories Inspire Change

Chefs do more than just cook — they create, they nourish, and they pour their heart into every plate. But behind the apron lies a world few people see — the late nights, the pressure, and the mental toll that often comes with working in the fast-paced food industry.

Yes, Chef! Behind the Apron™️ is more than a project — it's a movement. Our mission is to celebrate these incredible chefs, shed light on the challenges they face, and make a tangible impact in our communities.

Through powerful storytelling, stunning photography, and chef-driven initiatives, we’re bringing awareness to two critical causes:

🥣 Fighting Food Insecurity — by partnering with local chefs and organizations to provide meals and resources to those in need.

🧠 Promoting Mental Health in the Culinary Industry — by offering resources, support, and conversations that break the stigma surrounding mental wellness in the kitchen.

Our 2024 Calendar was just the beginning. As we prepare for 2025, we’re building a community of passionate chefs, creative minds, and supporters who believe in the power of food to heal, connect, and inspire

Our mission is to celebrate chefs, reveal their unseen struggles, and create meaningful change in our communities.
