With 15 years of experience working in professional kitchens and a passion for serving people in precarious situations, Rapha\u00ebl co-founded Chaleur, officially opening its doors in June 2025. The restaurant builds its menus around rescued and unsold ingredients from local producers and distributes roughly 15% of its meals free of charge through a trust-based model. By welcoming people from vastly different backgrounds at shared tables, Chaleur uses food as a powerful tool for community connection. Tune in to hear Rapha\u00ebl\u2019s perspective on socially engaged gastronomy, building creative menus from rescued ingredients, breaking away from toxic kitchen culture, and how restaurants can evolve to become spaces for social change.
