From Bon Appétit.

“Yess is a casual izakaya-style restaurant. I like dealing with direct fire and the philosophical idea of buying a whole fish and then processing it.” Today, Bon Appétit spends a day on the line with Junya Yamasaki, head chef at Yess in Los Angeles. Yamasaki follows the philosophy of buying a whole fish and using every part throughout the menu making sure nothing goes to waste.
