From rising culinary star Danny Bowien, chef and
cofounder of the tremendously popular Mission Chinese Food
restaurants, comes an exuberant cookbook that tells the
story of an unconventional idea born in San Francisco that
spread cross-country, propelled by wildly inventive recipes
that have changed what it means to cook Chinese food in
America
Mission Chinese Food is not
exactly
a Chinese restaurant. It began its life as a pop-up: a
restaurant nested within a divey Americanized Chinese joint
in San Francisco’s Mission District. From the beginning, a
spirit of resourcefulness and radical inventiveness has
infused each and every dish at Mission Chinese Food. Now,
hungry diners line up outside both the San Francisco and New
York City locations, waiting hours for platters of Sizzling
Cumin Lamb, Thrice-Cooked Bacon, Fiery Kung Pao Pastrami,
and pungent Salt-Cod Fried Rice. The force behind the
phenomenon, chef Danny Bowien is, at only thirty-three, the
fastest-rising young chef in the United States. Born in
Korea and adopted by parents in Oklahoma, he has a broad
spectrum of influences. He’s a veteran of fine-dining
kitchens, sushi bars, an international pesto competition,
and a grocery-store burger stand. In 2013 Food &
Wine named him one of the country’s Best New Chefs and
the James Beard Foundation awarded him its illustrious
Rising Star Chef Award. In 2011 Bon Appétit named
Mission Chinese Food the second-best new restaurant in
America, and in 2012 the New York Times hailed the
Lower East Side outpost as the Best New Restaurant in New
York City. The Mission Chinese Food
Cookbook tracks the fascinating, meteoric rise of the
restaurant and its chef. Each chapter in the story—from the
restaurant’s early days, to an ill-fated trip to China, to
the opening of the first Mission Chinese in New York—unfolds
as a conversation between Danny and his collaborators, and
is accompanied by detailed recipes for the addictive dishes
that have earned the restaurant global praise. Mission
Chinese’s legions of fans as well as home cooks of all
levels will rethink what it means to cook Chinese food,
while getting a look into the background and insights of one
of the most creative young chefs today.
