Watch the sparks fly when a home cook - Mark Bittman - crisscrosses the country to take on the country's best chefs in their own kitchens. Mark Bittman is the award-winning author of "How to Cook Everything" and "The Best Recipes in the World". His column "The Minimalist" appears every week in the New York Times.
Includes all thirteen episodes from the first season, more than 50 recipes, and Bittman taking on Jose Andres of Jaleo (Washington DC), Chris Schlesigner of East Coast Grill & Raw Bar (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Suzanne Goin of Lucques (Los Angeles), Daniel Boulud of Restaurant Daniel (New York), Jean-Georges Vonherichten of Jean-Georges (New York), Gary Danko of Restaurant Gary Danko (San Francisco), Gabrielle Hamilton of Prune (New York), Michel Richard of Citronelle (Washington D.C.), Suvir Saran of Devi (New York), Charles Phan of The Slanted Door (San Francisco), James Boyce of Studio (Laguana Beach, California), Anna Klinger of Al di La (Brooklyn) and Kerry Simon of Simon Kitchen & Bar (Las Vegas).
There is also a DVD-only exclusive: Bittman Takes on Wine, which is Bittman's everyman guide to what to drink with anything and everything.
