The Migrant Kitchen episodes (4)

1 Alta California
11/8/17
Season-only
A collective of culturally connected, distinguished chefs (including Ray Garcia of Broken Spanish, Wes Avila of Guerilla Tacos, Carlos Salgado of Taco Maria, as well as Jorge Gaviria of corn purveyor, Masienda) work to preserve heritage and push forward the “Alta California” Mexican food movement.
2 Badmaash
11/15/17
Season-only
Indian food has often been associated with stiff restaurants, all-you-can-eat buffets and heavily spiced, cream-based dishes. The Mahendro family (Anu, Pawan, Nakul and Arjun) immigrated to Los Angeles and found that they didn’t recognize any of the so-called Indian food available to them. Like carefully selected spices to a classic Indian dish, each family member contributes something special and significant to their restaurant Badmaash and to the city of LA. Featured in the episode: Downtown LA’s Badmaash.
3 Omotenashi
11/22/17
Season-only
Charles Namba and Courtney Kaplan, the couple behind Echo Park's Tsubaki, Sonoko Sakai, a teacher with a passion for buckwheat and the art of soba noodles, and Seiichi Yokota, who knows how to prepare and preserve fresh fish with a traditional Japanese technique, aim to introduce Angelenos to the unique spirit of Japanese hospitality and the culture's deep culinary customs.
4 Beyond Pho
11/29/17
Season-only
Banh Mi. Spring rolls. Pho. The war and its subsequent refugees. These are things most commonly associated with the Vietnamese culture and its people. But a group of chefs in Los Angeles (including Cassia's Bryant Ng and Kim Luu-Ng, Diep Tran of Good Girl Dinette, and Minh Phan of Porridge & Puffs) are hoping to demonstrate that there’s so much more than that. Featured in the episode: Cassia in Santa Monica, Good Girl Dinette in Highland Park, Red Boat Fish Sauce.
