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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003cem\u003eFood \u0026amp; Wine\u003c\/em\u003e 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 \u003cem\u003eBon App tit\u003c\/em\u003e named Mission Chinese Food the second-best new restaurant in America, and in 2012 the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e hailed the Lower East Side outpost as the Best New Restaurant in New York City. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eMission Chinese Food Cookbook\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e--AndrewZimmerman.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eYing, Chris:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eChris Ying worked as designer, editor, and publisher of \u003cem\u003eMcSweeney's\u003c\/em\u003e before becoming editor in chief of \u003cem\u003eLucky Peach\u003c\/em\u003e.
