    The Mind of a Chef
    Narrated by Executive Producer Anthony Bourdain, The Mind of a Chef combines cooking, travel, history, humor, art and science into a cinematic journey, each episode capturing another glorious flicker from the mind of its subject and focusing on what it truly means to cook, think, create and live in the food-obsessed world that is The Mind of a Chef.

      He understood very well how happy he made people but he himself was not happy. Making other people happy did not bring him relief from his pain.

      As a high schooler I used to say I’d love to have dinner with him. I’m glad he appeared to love the life he chose. At the same time I get why he ended his life. Can’t blame him and I’m glad he chose what he wanted.

    I travelled to Japan a couple of times and had the best food of my life there. The ramen, sushi and tonkatsu are out of this world. Even the noodles dinners at 7/11 were delicious. I went to a really small mom and pop place where they served egg sandwiches and they were the best that I ever had. I told the lady as much in my very poor Japanese and she was super happy and started to ask us where we were from etc. I hope I can go back again someday and eat all the foods again!

    Man, David said something that made me realize why Japanese and Italian cuisine are my absolute favorites: They both have their roots in humble home recipes to help people get by, and they elevate those dishes into something special. There's a lot of history and love put in to every single dish in both food cultures, and it really comes through in the flavor.

    In South Korea, there is a snack version of Instant Noodles. You open the packet, sprinkle the spicy powder, shake the bag, holding the opening close, you can bite or break the noodles, to make them bite size pieces.
    Many Korean kids did their snack version, before they made them into the snack versions. Little Korean Markets eventually sold the snack version here in Canada and probably in the USA.
    Was surprised David didn’t mention it. They were available by 2012.

    so hopefully Chef Chang's ramen skills have improved greatly, they are kind of lacking for someone who lived and such in Japan from what I saw in this episode and other episodes I've seen in regards to his ramen
    Chef Chang do your best, good luck
