NINE LIVES

NINE LIVES is a memoir of redemption and an unrelenting struggle to control the demons plaguing a young chef as he comes of age.

At 26, Brandon Baltzley landed his dream job and was called a prodigy as foodie blogs followed his every move. But as the culinary world watched, Brandon checked himself into rehab to deal with addictions he had been struggling with for more than six years.
Brandon Baltzley has worked at several Michelin starred restaurants, and is currently hosting sold-out pop-up dinners around the country with his culinary collective, Crux. He is preparing to open a farm-to-table restaurant next year.
