Chef Michael Lee delves into his passions and spirituality in the first part of a three-part series with filmmaker David Delaney Mayer.

Michael Lee is a restaurateur whose award-winning restaurants - M Sushi, M Kokko, M Tempura, and M Pocha – reflect his passion for creating unique experiences for his patrons. Driven by a desire to affect the lives of the people who he interacts with (or who interact with his food), Michael Lee has created a series of restaurants that have drawn a national audience to taste global cuisines.
