What does it really take to change your mind? Sometimes it’s a life-altering “aha” moment. Other times, it’s three dishes and a chef who refuses to quit. On this show, America’s Test Kitchen’s Dan Souza puts change to the test—one ingredient at a time. Each episode, he sits down with a celebrity guest for a candid conversation about the pivotal moments that shaped them, while serving them three different dishes, all built around an ingredient or food they hate. Three attempts. No easy outs. Can Dan get his guests to change their minds?Copyright America's Test Kitchen Art Cooking Food & Wine Social Sciences
