A few weeks ago, the Chicago Tribune ran a story about a blind culinary student named Laura Martinez who was completing the Le Cordon Bleu culinary program in Chicago. Later, CBS news sent a crew to visit Martinez as she completed her externship in the kitchen for the blind and visually impaired, and as a twist, brought along Chicago mega-restauranteur Charlie Trotter. Trotter was so impressed by Martinez's work, that he has hired her to work the line at his flagship restaurant. [Chicago Tribune]
