  • Inspiring

    I’ve been listening to your podcast every day, trying to catch up to hear all the episodes and I already found everything you speak of is educational and inspiring and relatable. Listening to just the bio on Roy Choi‘s episode gave me chills, while I am on a run in Texas summer 100° heat. But then hearing how he’s a late bloomer and having to provide after getting into cooking late in the game is literally my experience as an Asian American chef/new mom as well. Look up to you guys more than you... more

  • Hit and Miss

    Tune in for the interesting perspectives on food culture and the restaurant industry. Tune out the episodes about nutrition science.

Unfortunately, David and Chris repeatedly allow her to make big claims meant to fearmonger, without putting her on the spot or asking her to provide any evidence to back up her assertions. She repeatedly sidesteps any questions that don’t feed into the narrative she’s spinning, and only answers the softballs. I’ve enjoyed other i... more

  • Sound engineering is so horrible

    I love the content of this show, and I love David Chang, but for the love of God, who is responsible for the sound engineering. It is so horrible. The volume of the voice is on the podcast are constantly going up and down. I am continuously having to adjust the volume as I listen this and it is so irritating. This seems like a really simple fix.
