| Abstract | Chef Jeffery Henderson was born in Watts, Los Angeles in 1965. In the early 1980s, his family moved to San Diego where he began selling cocaine. In 1988, one of his couriers was arrested with drugs, and paperwork led police to Henderson who received ten years in prison. Henderson began turning his life around by reading and working in prison kitchens. In 1992, he was transferred to Nellis Air Force Base. He was accepted into Culinary Training School for inmates at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. In 1997, Henderson was freed from prison. He moved to Las Vegas and after numerous rejections was hired by Caesars Palace restaurant. Henderson later became executive chef at Caf Bellagio. In 2001, he was honored by the American Food and Wine Tasting Federation. In 2007, he published his memoir, "Cooked: From the Streets to the Stove, from Cocaine to Foie Gras.". |
