What do trombones, surfers, and Paris have in common? They're all part of Jonathan Waxman's inspiring success story that took him from cleaning bathrooms to an iconic career as a chef, restaurateur, and tv personality.

A true pioneer of California cuisine, Chef Jonathan Waxman shares his extraordinary journey, including his unforgettable experiences like traveling on a shoestring budget to Michelin three-star restaurants across France in his 20s which ended up changing the course of his life.

Jonathan’s stories take us from Paris, to the bustling kitchens of Chez Panisse, to the sunny shores of Santa Monica, and around the world.

Jonathan's passion for cooking comes through as he talks about what his idea of the ultimate expression of true cuisine is. He also shares what's next for him as a chef and a restaurateur.

Stick around for the wrap where Bruce shares his most memorable culinary experience from Kyoto that involved a tiny sushi bar with 4 stools, no options, and (thankfully) a friendly patron who could help translate between English and Japanese.
