Brandon Chrostowski is on a mission to change the face of re-entry in the United States. In 2007, he founded EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute. The idea for EDWINS was born “from a break” that Chrostowski received early in life. It has grown from a six-month program conducted in prison that provides training in culinary arts and hospitality to a full-service restaurant dedicated to teaching those recently released all facets of restaurant operations.

After release, individuals are not only equipped with basic culinary skills, they also are assisted with finding employment, have the opportunity to utilize free housing, basic medical care, clothing, job coaching and literacy programs.

Chrostowski began his career in Detroit 19 years ago and has since trained in some of the world’s finest restaurants including Charlie Trotters and Lucas Carton in Paris; Le Cirque, Picholine and Chantrelle in New York City; and L’Albatros  Brasserie and Bar in Cleveland.  He received an Associate’s degree in Culinary Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Business and Restaurant Management at The Culinary Institute of America. An accomplished sommelier, Chrostowski received his certification from the Court of Master Sommeliers in 2008.
