SUMMARY:[FAN] Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef Curtis Duffy
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 9\, 2025\, 12:00 PM CT\, Fireproof: Memoir of a Chef\, a FAN webinar featuring Curtis Duffy in conversation with Heidi Stevens. \nREGISTER: www.bit.ly/CDuffyFANWebinar \nBONUS BOOK GIVEAWAY! FAN is giving away copies of Fireproof to randomly selected Zoom attendees. Details on the webinar registration page. \nFireproof: Memoir of a Chef charts chef Curtis Duffy’s rise\, despite a childhood and adolescence rife with trauma\, to being mentored by and recognized among the world’s top chefs. Amid family chaos in rural Ohio\, a young Duffy found refuge first in a high school home economics class\, then at one of Columbus’s best restaurants\, where he honed his skills. His passion ignited\, Duffy was determined to leave Ohio and break the Duffy family curse. \nBut the tragic deaths of Duffy’s parents when he was only 19 jeopardized his promising professional career. Summoning extraordinary fortitude and resilience\, Duffy ate pain\, graduated culinary school\, and moved to Chicago to work in chef Charlie Trotter’s namesake restaurant\, a hotbed of talent that produced prominent alumni such as Grant Achatz\, Graham Elliot\, and Homaro Cantu. Inspired by stellar peers and staging for Thomas Keller at the French Laundry\, Duffy’s drive only grew. \nDuffy’s laser-focused ambition cost him a marriage\, and Grace restaurant. Grace earned three Michelin stars four years in a row\, solidifying Duffy’s place as one of the world’s greatest culinary artists. But in a heartbreaking act of defiance\, Duffy walked out after disputes with Grace’s owner. \nUndeterred\, Duffy created Ever restaurant—a launch nearly derailed by the pandemic. He persisted where many others would have resigned their craft\, and Ever earned two Michelin stars from 2021-2024. Duffy was ranked one of the “50 Most Powerful People in American Fine Dining” in 2024 by the Robb Report. \nDuffy will be in conversation with Heidi Stevens\, Director of External Affairs for the University of Chicago’s TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health\, and creative director for Parent Nation\, an initiative of the TMW Center. Stevens has been a FAN board member since 2021. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
