No Lucks Given: Life is Hard, but There is Hope

What would the world look like if more of us cared for more people?

What if we were vulnerable in sharing our whole story, the good and the bad, and not just the highlight reel?

How could our stories, if authentically told, help others through their pain, grief, or depression?

In his new memoir, NO LUCKS GIVEN, Chef Brother Luck shares the dramatic story of his childhood, the life lessons he learned on the streets, in kitchens, and in counseling sessions, and compels us to both ask for help and do the hard work of helping others.

Through the lens of his own priorities—faith, family, and food—Brother sets the table for meaningful conversation by acknowledging his pain, being vulnerable, and sharing the wisdom he has learned from his mentors.

Get it now.

With a name like Brother Luck, it would be easy to attribute success to good fortune, but Brother's is a result of hard work, determination, and passion. Brother's culinary journey began in San Francisco shortly after his father passed away when he was 10 years old. He and his family fell on hard times and by the age of 14, Brother was working in professional kitchens. Brother graduated from a culinary arts vocational school in Arizona. Having honed his cooking skills around the world like Japan, Hong Kong, Chicago, and New York City, he now owns two restaurants in Colorado Springs. Brother also has an impressive array of television appearances under his belt that include appearing on Food Network as a Chopped finalist and winning his episode of Beat Bobby Flay. Brother was also a favorite on the Emmy award winning Bravo's Top Chef Season 15 and 16 and cooking his way through the competitors on the digital series Last Chance Kitchen.
