The Audacity of Hope…and Szechuan Peppercorn

Mission Chinese Food is a collaboration between restaurateur, chef, and food consultant Anthony Myint and chef Danny Bowien. The project has humble origins in San Francisco springing from trucks and the fleeting pop-up Mission Street Food. In 2010, Mission Street Food became Mission Chinese Food, one of the most important American restaurants of the last 5 years. Bowien has gone on to open Mission Cantina and Mission Chinese Food in New York, and is the recipient of the James Beard Foundation’s Rising Star Chef Award.

In this talk from MAD2, the duo talk about their ascent and the importance of contributing to your community.
