From the experimental cuisines of northern California to the exquisite food of China, Hong Kong and Anthony Bourdain's TV show, Frank Sun's current passion is the grapes and greenery of Niagara.
I've always thought of opening restaurants and running kitchens as extremely stressful, and one would have to be slightly insane to want to do so. Perhaps because of that series, The Bear....I almost can't watch it because I get so stressed. But after reading your article, there is certainly a lot of creativity, love, and passion that comes from cooking when you are at that level. Perhaps the Chef is just so good that there is no stress of 'not making it'.... it's just a matter of executing and showing the world what you have to say this time around. It certainly made me yearn for the olden days in the San Francisco Bay Area, where culture, food, wine, and music intersected and influenced one another. Such a fun read!
James great to hear from you man. There is no stress like kitchen stress, or so I am told. But you are a pretty laid back dude, I am sure you can handle it. And The Bear is way to stressful to watch, apparently they toned down season four.
Chris, always great to hear from you man. Yeah, you definitely would have dug Frank's bistro in HK. I guess you will just have to get up to Niagara for one of the pop-ups. You won't regret it!

Another excellent, informative article from Tim! A shame I had already left HK and Asia by the time Frank opened his restaurant there. Eat on!
