The Professionals S2019E14 - Tradition and Revolution: Two Kings of Curry

Japanese-style curry is one of the nation's most popular foods. This time, we meet 2 masters of the beloved dish: one a revolutionary and the other a king of tradition. Daisuke Uetake (46) helped to popularize "spice curry." His unique curries feature highly imaginative ingredient combinations, and his restaurant has no standard menu, with new dishes changing out every month or even every day. He's created more than 1,000 recipes over the last 20 years, and eagerly discusses his personal approach to curry. Kiyoshi Omino (70), meanwhile, is a reigning king of traditional Japanese curry. He's been making his secret recipe by hand for 37 years. Top-quality ingredients are painstakingly prepared into a sauce that rests for a full week before being transformed into the final dish. His supreme curry was ranked first on one of Japan's most prominent food websites. Explore 2 fundamentally different curries, and the lives of the men who make them.
