Erin French Net Worth, Parents, Height, Married Life

American Chef Erin French, who is the owner of The Lost Kitchen, a huge 40-seat restaurant located in Freedom, Maine is now doing better in her life than ever. First, she battled her way through depression and addiction problems, then clawed out of the dark times and got The Lost Kitchen running again, and now she stars in the new Magnolia series, The Lost Kitchen.

This article will be all about Erin. Read until the end of the article to know about Erin’s married life, divorce, net worth, parents, and more.

How Much Is Erin French Net Worth?

By 2022, Erin French’s net worth was estimated to be under $1.5 million.

People reported that Erin’s inspiration to become a chef was formed in her childhood. Erin reportedly spent most of her free time in her family’s diner. The food and the surroundings around her had a major impact on her life. “My whole childhood is filled with memories there,” French said. “I remember the nutmeg-laced donuts, so warm and crunchy — I can still taste it. Food ran through our entire family. We were surrounded by it,” Erin told to People.

With the support of her mom, Erin started an underground supper club in her early 20s. She continued working there until she had the skills and knowledge to open up a big restaurant.

Along with the help of her former husband Todd French, she set up the first The Lost Kitchen in late 2011. Eventually, the restaurant was run out of their apartment in Maine and it caused a great deal of stress for Erin so much so that she had to take Xanax and Ambien prescriptions to lessen the effects of depression.

Over time, Erin developed an addiction to Xanax and Ambien. In 2013, Erin sought help and went into a rehabilitation facility. While at rehab, the famous chef got to know that her husband at the time Todd had secretly closed their restaurant and changed the locks.

After getting out of rehab, Erin had to fight through a bitter divorce and the custody battle for her only child. Although it initially seemed like Erin would never be able to stand tall after all the things that she had to go through, she was up and running in no time.

Erin clawed out of those times like a pro and opened up The Lost Kitchen again. She even documented all the dark times in her life in a memoir called Finding Freedom: A Cook’s Story: Remaking a Life from Scratch.

As an author, Erin has also written another book named The Lost Kitchen: Recipes and a Good Life Found in Freedom, Maine: A Cookbook.

For her extraordinary cooking skills, she has been nominated for James Beard Award for Best Chefs in America four times. What’s more, she ended up being a semifinalist in all the awards ceremonies.
