This time last year, it's possible you did not know the names Niki Nakayama and Carole Iida. Then the dynamic duo's restaurant, n/naka, was featured in the first season of Chef's Table on Netflix. On the show, chef Nakayama and sous chef Iida walk the audience through their take on kaiseki, a formal 13-course Japanese meal prepared with careful attention to ingredients and technique.

Hear Nakayama give us the scoop on n/naka's big plans to push the envelope on local sourcing and learn how Chef's Table changed her life forever. Find n/naka's recipe for tuna poké on the Good Food blog.

Music: "A Small Escape" (Instrumental) by Fly By Pony and "Back It Up" (Instrumental) by Caro Emerald
