This Louisville Chef Is Feeding Out-Of-Work Food Service Workers || Ghost Kitchen

In this episode of Ghost Kitchen, we highlight Chef Edward Lee and Lindsey Ofcacek, founders of the Lee Initiative. The Lee Initiative leads a restaurant workers relief program that provides free meals for people out of work amidst the COVID-19 crisis. In partnership with Maker’s Mark as well as restaurants all across the country, service workers who’ve been laid off now have a community resource for free, delicious food through the Lee Initiative.

With social distancing becoming the new norm, restaurants still remain an essential part of our community. Whether it’s pivoting to pick-up and delivery or lending a helping hand to those in need, these businesses are adapting with the times. Thrillist’s new show ‘Ghost Kitchen’ spotlights how these restaurants are changing and bringing people together, giving us a first hand perspective on how these establishments are serving a new purpose beyond just food.
