Evan Funke was one of the hottest young chefs in Los Angeles when he inexplicably walked away from his critically-acclaimed and wildly popular restaurant, Bucato, leaving behind him a wake of financial and personal upheaval. Years later, he uses his mastery of the dying art of handmade pasta as a vehicle for redemption and his comeback. Tastemade's Funke gives equal measure to the artistry and passion that are crucial in the kitchen.
