Just another restaurant concept? Hardly. California, Hawaii, Colorado: This restaurant reflects the heart and soul of the fellows who started it. It is not a concept. It is their life. Meet surfers who are building a chain of surfer food joints, Wahoo's Fish Taco. They started from nothing and now have over 40 highly-successful restaurants.

Wherever they go, they have an instant family, an immediate bond with anyone who owns a surfboard, skateboard or snowboard. Brothers Wing Lam Lee, Ed Lee and Mingo Lee launched the business in 1988.

A beacon to creative people around the world, this country is a place to actualize dreams; and in this television show, you meet four new Americans who are changing the look of restaurants around the country. The restaurant industry is the nation's largest private-sector employer, providing jobs for 11.3 million individuals.
