In a special interview, TV culinary icon Martin Yan and acclaimed chef Brandon Jew discuss Mamahuhu's tribute dish for Asian American and Pacific Islander Month. Yan reflects on his legacy, how he inspires audiences about Chinese cooking, and his commitment to supporting San Francisco's Chinatown. Although proud of its vibrancy and cultural significance, he expresses concern over the decline of family-run restaurants as older generations retire without successors. Both chefs emphasize the importance of preserving culinary traditions in the face of changing demographics.
I always hoped that a lot of the retired restaurateurs would bring in the next generation of their sons, their cousins, to open a restaurant.
At 76, Yan still maintains a very active schedule... champions the Bay Area's Chinese restaurant community via his KTSF series Wok Around the Bay.
