Great food and flavors should open up our minds to different cultures and parts of the world, even when we're cooking at home. Chef Kristen Kish explained on "Salon Talks" how having a willingness to get out and explore what actually makes your food taste good became a driving force behind her new National Geographic show, "Restaurants at the End of the World."
Many know Kish as the first woman of color to win Bravo's "Top Chef," the chef/partner of the Arlo Grey restaurant in Austin and host of "36 Hours" on the Travel Channel. In "Restaurants at the End of the World," Kish travels to Maine, Panama, Brazil and Norway in search of cooks that are as fascinating as the ingredients that grow there. Kish discovers how food can grow in places you won't believe, like in the middle of the sea, tucked away in body parts of exotic animals or growing on the side of mountains.
