Katie Chin escaped what she jokingly describes as "dumpling prison" only to be so influenced by her heritage and Asian cuisines that she left her SVP role at FOX to start her career as a chef and author.

It was her mom's inspiring success story that eventually led Katie to a life of cooking, writing cookbooks, appearing on TV shows like Iron Chef and The Today Show, and creating a one-woman show called Holy Shitake: A Wok Star is Born. Prepare to be entertained and inspired by the story of how an immigrant woman making 50 cents an hour as a seamstress with no high school diploma went on to ... well, we won't spoil the ending.

In this interview, Katies tells us her "must try" Cantonese dish recommendations and where she goes in San Francisco to get them. She also explains what food is like in Guangzhou, China, and what kind of food you'll find at the food market there, before she reveals what other areas of China and Asia at large that she loves for cuisine.

Learn fun facts like "Korean chefs use Coca Cola to break down proteins," and what bulgogi pizza is. Plus, get tips for cities in the U.S. and Canada where you can find great Asian cuisine.

This episode also features a bonus segment with Gregory Gourdet, the newly crowned James Beard award winner for Best Chef: Northwest and the Pacific. A past guest on Travel That Matters’ Master Chef series, Gregory talks about his many adventures in Thailand and how the country’s cuisine helped shape the chef that he is today.
