“With Our Eyes Closed”

This week, Dan and Rich get a little deeper behind the pass. From the kitchen tasks they could prep blindfolded, to the people they’d cook for one last time — this one hits a bit harder. There’s emotion, honesty, and a few near-tears as they open up about the chefs who influenced them, the ego that comes with the job, and when you actually feel ready in a kitchen.

Rich finds out he’s been Dan’s influence all along, and they both get hit with a reminder of why food really matters.

Still full of laughs, banter, and blunt truth — it’s everything you love about the show, with a bit more heart on the plate.
