Can women chefs make the cooking industry 'a better place?'

Season 2019 Episode 15 | 3m 28s

For decades, restaurant kitchens have been spaces dominated by men.

Renee Shaw of Kentucky Educational Television reports on how Lee is trying to cultivate "great activists for the next generation" of cooking.
