MT. PLEASANT, SC (WCIV)–  It’s a typical Friday morning.  Chef Landen Ganstrom hops out of bed, gets showered, throws on his clothes and heads to work.  He doesn’t head for his paying job though.  He goes to put in work, serious work, at his local gym.

You see, for Chef Landen, cooking up the right workout is just as important as putting together the right ingredients for any recipe he whips up at his Mt. Pleasant restaurant, Crave.

He hits the weights and he hits them hard.  Piling on as much as possible, to get maximum benefit.  He works his muscles to exhaustion.  The guy that can heat it up in the kitchen is boiling in the gym.  Sweat pours off his face as he dead lifts his body weight…and then some.  I know for a fact!  I’ve witnessed it for myself.  And it’s his love for fitness that has driven him to offer healthier choices on the menu.
