Special Sauce: Kwame Onwuachi's Journey From Setbacks to Success Story

'This week's Special Sauce guest, chef-restaurateur (Kith/Kin in Washington, DC) and memoirist ( Notes From a Young Black Chef ) Kwame Onwuachi, has led an interesting life, to say the least. How interesting? By the time he was 21, the now-29-year-old had already started a catering business and cooked on a ship cleaning up oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico—all after discarding a previous life that included membership in a gang and selling "nutcrackers," or homemade alcoholic punch, on the streets in the Bronx.' --
