Beacon of Hope

A story of love, loss, exceptional food, the power of community…and the one woman at the center of it all.

In this hope-filled episode, learn how Jen Hidinger-Kendrick turned heartbreak into hope after her husband, Ryan, was diagnosed with stage IV cancer.  Jen and Ryan—along with a legion of friends, family, loved ones and leaders from the Atlanta restaurant community—united to bring one of Atlanta's most innovative restaurant concepts to life, Staplehouse, along with its nonprofit sister organization, Giving Kitchen. 

Jen’s story is also about the power of community, the Atlanta food service community to be exact, and what is possible when we all come together in love and service to one another...and the promise that love can live again.

We are a tight family. We do what we do because we love it. Creating and serving, while making people happy with food and drink is our love. Our other love is taking care of others. The mission of Staplehouse restaurant, outside of doing we we love to do, is to give back."
