The Mind of a Chef

From ramen to rotting bananas, from Copenhagen to Kentucky, from pork buns to golf clubs, The Mind of a Chef is a rethinking of a “travel/cooking show” — it feeds the gut and the mind.

Narrated by Anthony Bourdain, it is a series that dares to make connections between food and nature, science, music, art, sports, history, and just about anything else that Korean-American chef David Chang can stir up.

Chang, a New York Times best-selling author and chef/owner of the Momofuku restaurant group, brings a voracious appetite for food knowledge and a youthful exuberance to cooking and travel, whether cooking in his kitchens in New York and Australia or traveling for inspiration to Japan, Denmark, Spain, or Montreal.
