About Brandon Chrostowski and EDWINS   

Located in Cleveland, Ohio, Brandon Chrostowski’s EDWINS is culinary school. Culinary Club classes began in 2011 at Grafton Correctional Institution, and shortly after, EDWINS Restaurant opened in Shaker Square on Nov. 1, 2013.

The driving principle behind EDWINS is that every human being, regardless of their past, has a right to a fair and equal future. While enrolled in the program, EDWINS students receive intensive training and hands-on work experience. They’re also provided free housing, legal services, basic medical care, clothing, job coaching, literacy programs, and more at the Second Chance Life Skills Center (est. 2016), a 30,000-square-foot campus. The Institute graduates 75 students a year, many of whom gain employment in dining establishments across the country.

Recently EDWINS expanded and moved its award-winning fine French restaurant to the historic Nighttown location, continuing its mission in a vibrant new space.

Today, EDWINS has grown to include not only its flagship fine dining restaurant at Nightgown but also a Butcher Shop, Bakery, and EDWINS Too—a culinary incubator, community kitchen, event, and makers’ space.

We start our day at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in Euclid where we will:

 

    • Celebrate Mass
    • Receive a Plenary Indulgence for Jubilee of Hope 2025
    • Learn of The History of The Shrine including:
      • Marian Apparition that took place on the property
      • Designation as National Shrine and Stone from where Our Blessed Mother stood in Lourdes
      • Healings that have occurred at The Shrine
    • Explore the Grounds
    • Visit the Gift Shop

12:30

The Friars Table, Playhouse Square Cleveland Ohio where we will:

    • Enjoy a Delicious Lunch
    • Hear from Brandon Chrostowski  about Edwin’s Leadership Institute about their ministry
Born in 2018 as a dream of Bro. Phil Bernier, OFM Cap, in a Capuchin Franciscan friary in Santa Ynez, California, and graced by the gift of a generous friend, the reality of The Friars’ Table began to take shape with a meeting between Bro. Phil and Brandon Chrostowski of EDWINS in October of 2020. Encouraged by Brandon to “think big” and by the mission of his Leadership Institute, the unusual partnership of a Catholic religious community and an esteemed local restaurateur began.
 
It is our prayer that God will bless this modern-day refectory in the midst of our busy city as a place of fellowship and welcome, where men and women can find a safe place to begin again and rediscover their own dignity and worth as beloved children of our Creator. and where we will be nourished with the bounty of creation and nurtured in hope and peace.
