“I’m not trying to make an ironic restaurant.”

Welcome to Chef Lab, a short documentary series profiling dynamic food makers, made in partnership with HLN. Over the next few weeks, we’ll get inside the minds of chefs on a personal mission to chart new territories in our culinary landscape. Whether driven by single-minded purpose or moral conviction, these chefs are dramatically reimagining our approach to veganism, sustainability and cultural authenticity.
