Early Modernist Networking and Labs

Dave makes a version of New Mexico green chile stew for his friend, chef and scientist Chris Young.

Chris also walks Dave through how to make the best french fries at home—from the freezer!

Dave and Chris talk about their mindsets regarding the intersection of food and science, what they look for in restaurants now that they're older, and taking creative risks.
