From Executive Producer Anthony Bourdain and Zero Point Zero Production, the upcoming season of the Emmy and James Beard award-winning series THE MIND OF A CHEF will take viewers inside the mind of Chef Danny Bowien, owner and brainchild of San Francisco and New York City's Mission Chinese Food.
The new season will premiere on the newly-launched Facebook Watch platform this fall, introducing audiences to the culinary mind of Danny Bowien, and melding food, music, travel, history, art, science, and humor. The first three episodes of the new season of
THE MIND OF A CHEF will be available for viewing on the newly launched Facebook Watch platform starting Tuesday November 14th 2017. The remaining episodes will premiere on Facebook Watch each week after.
"Danny Bowien is one of the most influential chefs in America today," says Executive Producer Anthony Bourdain. "Born in Korea, raised in Oklahoma, and drawing on a multitude of influences both in medium and locales, from the Sichuan province of Chengdu to San Francisco, he challenges the notion of authenticity at Mission Chinese Food while remaining true to himself, constantly changing and redefining what "American" cuisine means for us all."
The eight episodes of
THE MIND OF A CHEF featuring Bowien will focus on what he brings to the future of the culinary landscape. We travel the world with him, exploring the ever-changing food scene of Seoul, to the spicy flavors of the Sichuan Province of Chengdu, to his humble beginning in San Francisco, and even his family inspirations and newly set roots in New York City. Along the way we explore Bowien's genuine identity as a chef, artist, husband, and father via both live action filmmaking and the series' award-winning animation.
"We are very excited to premiere this next chapter of
THE MIND OF A CHEF on Facebook Watch," says Executive Producer Michael Steed. "Most importantly, the move to Facebook Watch gives us the opportunity to bring the show to a wide audience. Fans of the show will also be able to engage with the show in new and exciting ways. More people get to watch the show and celebrate the creative spirit that has made the show as great as it is"
