His perseverance paid off when he moved to Canada and serendipitously got hired as a talk show host for a Canadian cooking show. Yan's career then progressed rapidly, eventually earning him the title as one of the most famous Asians in America. Yan's philosophy is to always have fun and to treat cooking and eating as a means of entertainment.
