Dressing Room Cooking Challenge: Chef Daniel Humm

I'm Daniel Humm, I'm the chef of Eleven Madison Park, and I'm taking The Tonight Show dress rehearsal room challenge today.

And when I look at all these ingredients, an important moment in my life comes to mind.

And I remember like my mom, I was growing up in Switzerland and my mom always cooked the most delicious food, but that afternoon I felt like I wanted to make a soup as gross as I could as possible.

And I just started adding, I just started opening the kitchen cabinets and I just started taking everything I could find and I put it in this big bowl.

In this big pot, and I put it on the stove, so like I I smashed everything up, I put everything together.

It was sweet, it was savory, you know, fruits.

Vegetables.

Like Coca-Cola, and I think it's important that you don't forget to be free in the kitchen.

And not everything needs to be so measured.

And then I brought it up to a boil and I cooked it for a little while and I asked my mom if she wants to taste it.

You want to taste it?

Oh.

That's it, very important moment in my life.
