The guy pictured above is Danny Bowien. If he kind of looks familiar, it's because a) he was raised in Oklahoma City, b) you've read about him in magazines, or c) you're a racist and all Asian hipsters look the same to you.
Anyway, Danny is kind of a big deal. He's the founder and head chef of a popular restaurant called Mission Chinese. Over the past couple of years, the eclectic Asian fusion eatery has grown into one of the coolest, trendiest, hottest, hippest, restaurants on both the East and West Coast. Need proof? In 2011, the original San Francisco location was named one of the Top 10 New Restaurants in the country by Bon Appetit and GQ. And remember the New York Times food critic who panned Guy Fieri's restaurant? He named Mission Chinese the top "New York Restaurant Triumph of 2012."
