One part Southern soul, one part Asian spice, and one part New York attitude, Chef Edward Lee
is a Korean-American who grew up in Brooklyn, trained in NYC kitchens,
and has spent the better part of a decade honing his vision at 610
Magnolia restaurant in Louisville, KY.
MIND OF A CHEF: MAGNUS NILSSON
In Jämtland, northwestern Sweden, about 6 hours north of Sweden's
capital, the land is isolated, sparse and frozen half the year. It is
this isolated landscape that Chef Magnus Nilsson
has transformed a ski resort farmhouse into what some say is one of the
best restaurants in the world, with a several months long wait list.
Guests at the 12-seat Fäviken Magasinet restaurant are treated to a
multi-course, inventive, perfectly timed, and choreographed meal
prepared by Nilsson and his small kitchen staff. The menu boasts
seasonal ingredients that honor the landscape of the region as well as
championing the traditions and past of its people.
PADDINGTON
A young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British travels to
London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington

- until he meets the kind Brown family, who read the label around his
neck ('Please look after this bear. Thank you.') and offer him a
temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this
rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.
