Introduction
One of my favorite documentaries that I've watched over and over again is this documentary called "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." It is about the greatest sushi chef of all time. His name is Jiro Ono. At the time that the documentary was created, he's 85 years old. What I did for this episode is I actually transcribed the entire documentary and then I went through that document just like I go through every single book that you and I talk about together.
So I want to start with the very beginning of the documentary. You see Jiro, he's talking directly to the camera and he tells us exactly why the documentary is named "Jiro Dreams of Sushi." He says, "I would see ideas in dreams. My mind was bursting with ideas. I would wake up in the middle of the night in dreams. I would have visions of sushi."
