The Mind of a Chef

I have been a little obsessed with this show The Mind Of A Chef for the last few days. I watched the first season with David Chang a few months ago. David Chang is the revolutionary chef of Momofuku and associated restaurants. He's been pioneering a new class of high end restaurants which plays with super high end food and ingredients without all of the pretension of a fancy restaurant and stuffy service.

Each episode is a 45 minute long brainstorm on a single style, ingredient, or process. David Chang has been a darling of the food media for the last few years, and has created a lot of signature dishes. Momofuku Pork Buns or maybe some Cereal Milk anyone? It's very interesting to see his thought process and to actually have the chance to watch him cook. Flavor and texture are played with in dishes like Popcorn Grits
