The Mind of a Chef

Unexpected

Season 6 Episode 6

Danny Bowien does not cook authentic Chinese cuisine, but he cooks genuine Danny Bowien cuisine -- food that is inspired by his love of Szechuan food and New York City and his family and new experiences. He is 100% himself, and is constantly in search and in awe of others who are the same.
