Long before the sprawling culinary empire, the Emmy nominated TV shows, the award-winning cookbooks and the White House invitations, Rick Bayless was just a regular kid growing up in Oklahoma City and working at his parents' BBQ restaurant. He played by the rules and wasn't the rebellious type.

Until, one day, on his way home from work, he bought a pet monkey. 

It was an unprecedented act of rebellion that would forever change his family and teach him an indelible lesson on actions and consequences.
