The Lee Initiative

In pursuit of a more diverse, sustainable, equitable and compassionate restaurant industry, Lindsey Ofcacek and chef Edward Lee launched the LEE initiative in 2018 in Louisville, Kentucky. LEE, an acronym for Let’s Empower Employment, aims to tackle the social problems posed by the food industry by seeking innovative solutions, creating actions such as the Women’s Culinary Program or Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice.
