They're all part of Jonathan Waxman's inspiring success story that took him from cleaning bathrooms to an iconic career as a chef, restaurateur, and tv personality.

Jonathan’s stories take us from Paris, to the bustling kitchens of Chez Panisse, to the sunny shores of Santa Monica, and around the world. Jonathan's passion for cooking comes through as he talks about what his idea of the ultimate expression of true cuisine is. He also shares what's next for him as a chef and a restaurateur. --- Stick around for the wrap where Bruce shares his most memorable culinary experience from Kyoto that involved a tiny sushi bar with 4 stools, no options, and (thankfully) a friendly patron who could help translate between English and Japanese. --- To learn more about Jonathan Waxman, visit <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jonathanwaxman.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7CCatrin%40Curtco.com%7C28f210cd3c1e49654a9c08dcaa897f5e%7Cfa5147ca15ff4fc99d8ec76df0f614f6%7C0%7C0%7C638572754736508476%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WTPrANKspm4FFPP6QnBcPI6Fn43O2SN7ii%2F8mwemTb0%3D&reserved=0" data-auth="Verified" data-linkindex="0">https://www.jonathanwaxman.com</a> Follow Jonathan Waxman on Instagram: <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fchefjwaxman%2F&data=05%7C02%7CCatrin%40Curtco.com%7C28f210cd3c1e49654a9c08dcaa897f5e%7Cfa5147ca15ff4fc99d8ec76df0f614f6%7C0%7C0%7C638572754736524653%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZARmZ4xhgI2PjQ71nfQRmehQ1afaC7DsFgoegNm1asQ%3D&reserved=0" data-auth="Verified" data-linkindex="1">https://www.instagram.com/chefjwaxman/</a> --- This season of Travel That Matters is presented by <a href="https://www.silversea.com/">Silversea</a>, the world’s most luxurious ocean and expedition voyages for the curious.
