The Mind of a Chef
Narrated by Executive Producer Anthony Bourdain, The Mind of a Chef combines cooking, travel, history, humor, art and science into a cinematic journey, each episode capturing another glorious flicker from the mind of its subject and focusing on what it truly means to cook, think, create and live in the food-obsessed world that is The Mind of a Chef.

Its amazing to think this show is over 10 years old. It was so good. I don't think many people watched it during the initial run because it was on PBS. Rodney would go on to win a James Beard Award for BBQ for Best Chef. He now has a BBQ restaurant empire. Sean is doing pretty well too.

[@MeanLaQueefa]

They both have a James Beard Award.

Tried Rodney Scott’s whole hog BBQ in Atlanta……..very disappointed. 🫤

Bourdain’s voice bringing back too many memories. Rip legend ❤

[@KasonWhitsell]

Rodney Scott is a legend. 1 of 2 pitmasters to ever win a James Beard award. One of the all time greats of our generation

[@hellhound1389]

This show is so old and Bourdain has been gone for years yet it's still a better show then anything Rachel Ray, Guy Fieri, and the food network does today

[@kellyclark7517]

If u dig AB,I just listened to his book “kitchen confidential” on audible. Awesome!

[@aaronbickford8725]

I always loved Bourdain, and the way he approached the Culinary world. I loved his appreciation for regular folks that make something extra special that deserved to have a light shone on it. At least, that’s the way his shows always struck me…I will admit I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere near all of them.

[@skizztrizz4453]

Way better😂

People don't understand sometimes that BBQ means different things in different places. I grew up knowing a pig in the ground. I have grown to know beef, and it's wonderful.

Don’t eat Swine or Shrimp but I love watching Southern Cooking. Thanks W.M. Keck Foundation for bringing this show.

[@aliceknows3375]

Just left South Carolina and brought home shrimp and Carolina gold rice home with me. I miss traveling the south on food adventures, reliving dishes my ancestors cooked. They show nuff missed the opportunity to speak about the history of the rice and okra. Like how this show is produced.

Great video! I wish Rodney had some of his immediate family there too.

[@chrsmdws1]

I once watched a youtube video about Scotts BBQ in Hemingway SC. I got in the car and drive the 2.5 hrs to get some that same day. 😂 I've tried scotts bbq in Charleston but it isn't the same at all as the original. Bot sure what happened amongst the family but the historic sign in Hemingway has been altered to omit Rodney if i had to guess. Now I want some BBQ. 🤤

[@chicobicalho5621]

10:14 Wow, if SB says "she works harder than anybody he has ever met", this has to have a very significant meaning, coming from arguably the hardest working person in the food industry!

11:15 never lift the lid. good point... my mom would get angry when cooking rice in the rice cooker and we lift the lid before its ready...

Red rice is a derivative of West African jollof rice. Carolina Gold was the main crop West Africans were brought to the Americas to grow and harvest. This was a missed opportunity to highlight the contributions of Africans in America.

[@JohnKing-yr7xn]

Agreed 👍🏾. I almost felt like it was deliberate. The Gullah geechee nation is all through there.

[@howardragin1063]

People don't know that African culture contributions to our foods we eat are derived from the mother land of African

[@kaosumaru]

It's not a missed opportunity. It's your opportunity. Better to take the opportunity gracefully as someone trying to share something they value with people they respect. Nobody wants what isn't obviously valuable, and nobody wants anything from someone who doesn't respect them.

[@iamconnie2303]

@@kaosumaru The first two sentences of my comment were little known facts. Anyone interested in learning more could easily research those facts and educate themselves about the connection between West Africans, enslavement and Low Country food ways. I'm not obligated to educate anyone in this information age. I'll gladly lead someone to new information in hopes that further study is done. Educate yourself.

[@curtisthomas2670]

Carolina Gold rice he's using is not an Asian variety of rice but a variety of oryza glabiremma which is a species of rice indigenous to Africa, and domesticated by Africans independently from the more widely known oryza sativa Asian species of rice. Europeans found Africans in places like West Africa growing vast fields of rice and took seeds and experienced growers to their colonies in the Americas. For the first couple centuries a variety of African rice that became Carolina Gold was the major rice grown in the US.
