Let's hear it for the chefs

Hosted by

Hours before the release of the 2016 Michelin Guide, 44-year-old chef Benoit Violier took his own life. Violier's restaurant Restaurant, de l'Hôtel de Ville, in Switzerland got three Michelin stars in 2015 and ranked at the top of France's La Liste guide.

Violier's tragic death has reignited the conversation about stresses that chefs face in kitchens. Kat Kinsman writes about food and mental illness and is an editor at the website Tasting Table. Kinsman talks to Good Food about her new project Chefs with Issues, an online repository collecting first-hand accounts about working in restaurants.
