Masako Morishita’s career path is unlike any other. Born in Japan, she came to the United States with a dream of becoming an NFL cheerleader. That came true when she joined the Washington Commanders’ cheer squad and even served as its first captain from overseas. But, an injury forced her to retire early. Now, she’s pursuing another passion – cooking. Morishita is the executive chef at a Washington D.C. restaurant and a recent James Beard award recipient. She explains how her Japanese roots influence her dishes.
