In every episode, Ming Tsai shows us how to creatively blend Asian and American influences into our cuisine. Ming is a great host: very educated, easy on the eyes, passionate about cooking. I usually dislike Chinese food because I can never fully recognize what it contains, but the meals he prepares look rather appetizing. At times though Ming has the tendency to drone on about things we're not sure we even care about. I used to have a joke that he is really just some guy at home in the kitchen cooking, while his poor starved wife is forced to sit and wait for him to get through his "cooking show" every night. The show is incredibly entertaining when you make a game out of that.
