Acclaimed San Antonio chef Jason Dady took a big leap when, after eight years, he closed his successful restaurant Bin 555 and quickly transformed the space into an entirely new concept.

In this exclusive video, the Austin Food & Wine Festival goes behind the scenes to chat with Dady about Umai Mi Modern Asian Fare and the transformation process, which happened in only three weeks. The video above also features a guest appearance by artist Robert Tatum, whose unique vision completed the casual, fun atmosphere.

You can catch Dady at the Austin Food & Wine Festival's Taste of Texas event on April 25.
