'Everyone is burnt out': Why chefs and restaurateurs are leaving the industry in droves


Martyna Krowicka had had enough.

For nearly two decades Krowicka, 35, a fine-dining chef, loved her work. “I love cooking,” she said.

She cooked at some of New Jersey’s best restaurants, including The Ryland Inn in Whitehouse Station. At age 28, she was a “Chopped” champion and two years later, a nominee for a New Jersey rising star award. In 2018, she joined Felina, an award-winning Italian restaurant in Ridgewood, New Jersey, first as sous chef and then executive chef.
