A San Francisco chef featured on a Netflix series is recovering after a brutal attack in the city's Financial District by a man who she says called her a racial slur.

Liquor store security cameras recorded the terrifying moment when Wendy Drew, who appeared in the series "You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment," was attacked in the city's Financial District by a man walking his dog after she had just left a restaurant.

"This guy looks pretty normal, with this dog, walks by and he calls me the N-word, right? And I was like, excuse me, why are you calling me that? So he comes back and says what? Then he starts pummelling, and just knocks me down," said Drew.
