'Crash Course Cuisine with Hudson Yang': Actor, budding chef dishes on new National Geographic show

SAN FRANCISCO -- You may remember Hudson Yang from the groundbreaking ABC show "Fresh off the Boat" but now the 21-year-old college student is setting out on a new adventure.

The actor and budding chef's new show "Crash Course Cuisine with Hudson Yang" premieres March 9 on National Geographic.

Yang will sharpen his skills with some of the best chefs in the world while also reconnecting with his Asian heritage.

"When I look at cooking shows, it seems like everything is the best as soon as they make it. And I realized that's not what cooking is," said Yang. "When I learned to cook, I made a mistake every five seconds, and I think watching that can make it scary. I wanted to create a show where you could watch me make mistakes, and I do, a lot."

Yang is also executive producer of the show.

"Crash Course Cuisine with Hudson Yang" debuts Sunday on NatGeo at 10 p.m.
