Less than one year into its run, Chef Chris Wadsworth and his wife Sommer have moved their nonprofit organization Triumph Kitchen to the Family and Youth Service Center at 1120 Government St.
The organization, which helps at-risk youths get a head start in the culinary world with a 12-week extensive training and two-week placement program, opened last year on Third Street in downtown Baton Rouge. In its first semester, Triumph Kitchen had six students graduate from the program. It currently has 13 students.
Wadsworth says the additional resources, space and focus on education were key factors in moving to the Mid City campus, which also houses programs such as THRIVE and Baton Rouge Area Victims Empowered.
