We are having our 1st ever Social Entrepreneurship event in Nanyang Polytechnic!
18 Chefs is a successful restaurant chain, that is fast becoming a hot name amongst the local food scene. Beyond dishing up good food, 18 Chefs is a social enterprise.
Se Teo, owner of Eighteen Chefs and once an ex-offender, has helped delinquents and ex-offenders in giving them a second chance; getting employed and allow them to return and contribute to society.
Please RSVP to nypsip@gmail.com if you’re interested for
exact venue and time details.
Background Information
Owner Benny went in and out of prison four times for heroin addiction since the age of 14. After a near-death experience, he turned over a new leaf and started learning how to cook. From then, he got a month-long internship at Fifteen before setting up Eighteen Chefs with two of his church friends.
The number eighteen is a slang for an active local gang and also the number of chefs Benny hopes to have in his restaurants one day. Eighteen Chefs has since set up a second branch – 54-seat restaurant at Eastpoint Mall equally committed to training ex-offenders as chefs and keeping there away from crime.
