For as long as I've known the NBA, it's been a Star's League.

But even among the stars, there's an exclusive club.

Russell and Dr. J. Jordan, Kobe.

They're all part of a select group that paved the way for the NBA superstar up to date.

And some even shared secrets with each other along the way.

From Spotify and the Ringer Podcast Network, I'm Jackie McMone.

And this is the Icons Club.

I'm one of the most famous food writers, journalists, scientists, chefs out there.

We talk about it at length at how much he's become sort of the standard in recipes.

And how that's a good thing and bad thing for guys like us.

But he has a new book titled, Chris.

The walk, recipes and techniques.

Kenji is such a fascinating figure here in food.

He has the platform and he has the science.

He has the acumen and the skill to sort of merge science, know how modern cooking.

And I think modern cooking and people always think molecular astronomy is just, you know,

a spearfocation and phone and stuff like that.

No, that always the born out of the idea of what can I do with food with an understanding

of science.

And Kenji is right up there, right?

He's going to be right up there with the great Harold McGee and his written book that has

caused me to take out my own walk.
