    I remember watching Chef Atsushi Kono in the Omakase and prime time series. Using the part that's usually thrown out is such a great idea because not only is it cheap, it is also delicious and can introduce many people to things that maybe they have not tried yet. It's great to see chef Atsushi again and see the progress since the last time he was shown
