Frankie Gaw shares how his creations on Dig In With honor the rich traditions of his Taiwanese heritage while pushing the boundaries of culinary innovation. He reflects on family Lunar New Year celebrations, where steamed crab symbolizes joy and connection, and how these cherished moments shaped his culinary journey. Frankie details his process of blending nostalgic childhood flavors with inventive modern twists, such as his standout Cinnamon Toast Crunch Butter Mochi. Drawing inspiration from his grandmother's intuitive cooking style, he emphasizes the importance of trusting his instincts and preserving family recipes. Frankie explores the challenges of growing up between two cultures, a duality that now drives his mission to fuse them through food. He discusses his series, Turning American Classics Asian, which reimagines beloved staples, bridging tradition and modernity in meaningful ways. The chef teases his second cookbook and envisions a line of food products that celebrate cultural diversity while finding a place on mainstream grocery shelves.
