Dave prepares a version of New Mexico green chile stew for his friend, chef and scientist Chris Young.
Chris also guides Dave through how to make the best french fries at home—starting from frozen fries!
They discuss their mindsets about the intersection of food and science, what they now seek in restaurants as they get older, and the importance of taking creative risks.
