“Figs on a plate” is the ubiquitous cliché of the ingredient-obsessed San Francisco restaurant world, but Daniel Patterson’s cuisine couldn’t be further from that stereotype. Ingredients still remain the focus, but the preparation is genius. The Massachusetts-born chef, restaurateur, and food writer now helms a number of restaurants, including Coi, Alta, Aster, and more. Patterson opened his first restaurant, Babette, when he was only 25 years old, and seven years later, earned his first James Beard Award nomination. Among his many accolades are a “Best New Chef” nod from Food & Wine, a “Chef of the Year” award from San Francisco Magazine, and a “Best Chef: West” win from the James Beard Foundation. In his spare time, Patterson also runs The Cooking Project, a nonprofit, community-based organization he co-founded, which is dedicated to teaching kids and young adults fundamental cooking skills. He also finds time to write about food in publications like The New York Times, Food & Wine, Financial Times, and Lucky Peach. His book, Coi: Stories and Recipes (Phaidon) was published in October 2013. He’s got tons of great recipes right here on Panna, but his poached scrambled eggs trick has particularly wowed our viewers.Daniel's Restaurants:Plum Bar (Oakland, CA) Coi (San Francisco, CA) Daniel's Book:Coi: Stories and Recipes (2013)

The Deen boys head to the Midwest and sample three delicious and different foods. What would a trip to Wisconsin be without cheese! The boys begin with a visit to a cheese-making business, where the specialties are uniquely flavored cheeses like chicken-soup cheese. Then it's off to the Sprechers', where some brew masters create the most mouth-watering root beer, and the boys soon find out that root beer can go on just about anything, from BBQ sauce to dessert sauces! Finally, Jamie and Bobby check out a Danish delicacy called the Kringle--a buttery pastry whose recipe has been passed down from generation to generation.
