Listen to "Edwin’s Restaurant Reforms Ex-Inmates in Oscar-Nominated Knife Skills" on Spreaker.

Brandon Chrostowski was given a second chance at life when he faced a judge after having a run-in with the law. Rather than taking it for what it was, Brandon was determined to provide the same chance to others, so he created Edwin’s, a restaurant staffed entirely by formerly incarcerated adults. Filmmaker Thomas Lennon followed him and his students on their mission to build the greatest French restaurant in the United States, creating Oscar-nominated “Knife Skills.”
