Let’s Talk About It
We are Culinary Hospitality Outreach and Wellness – You can call us CHOW.
CHOW hosts virtual and in-person meetings that are open to all – chef, servers, bussers, bartenders, owners, suppliers, farmers, writers, dishwashers, and industry veterans. Come to a CHOW meeting if you’re feeling something you can’t share with coworkers, friends or family. Come to a CHOW meeting to meet with industry folks and talk about what’s working and what isn’t in your life. Come to a CHOW meeting if you’re feeling lonely. We all have a state of mental health, whether it’s good or bad, let’s talk about it.
