Mission Possible: Danny Bowien's vegan revolution arrives, in cookbook form

Salt & Spine

The Chat!

In today’s episode, Danny Bowien and I discuss:

* Growing up in Oklahoma after being adopted from his birthplace of South Korea, and a lingering nostalgia for Olive Garden.

* His journey to becoming a chef, from an early job at a pizza shop to culinary school to winning the Genova Pesto World Championship.

* The process of opening Mission Chinese Food and how he handled being catapulted to a new level of fame.

* The inspiration behind his latest cookbook, Mission Vegan, and some of the ways his culinary repertoire has evolved in recent years.

Plus, as always, we put Danny to the culinary test in our signature game.
