The Dave Chang Show

Dave made a special gumbo recipe for a guest ... but got a different guest than he bargained for, and one he knows very well.

He and his new guest talk off the cuff about the differences between jambalaya and gumbo, discuss how New Orleans has the most distinct food culture of any U.S. city, and debate which city best represents the food of the South, all while acknowledging a lack of expertise.

They finish with a quick atlas of where to eat in New Orleans.

Dave turns a solo episode into a shabu-shabu meal with our pal Chris Ying.

They talk about the beauty of dishes like shabu-shabu, whether they like fish balls, and how Dave makes a delicious sauce for the dish.

The duo then talks about Dave's recent trip to San Francisco, Chef Corey Lee and his restaurants, and both the admiration and ire Corey causes in Dave... for being so dang good.

Dave has director and filmmaker David Ma in the studio, who is known for his amazing work with food on-screen.

Dave makes an unusual pairing of delicious dishes for David: a breakfast burrito and clay pot rice. See if he can nail them both ... or neither?

The duo discusses how David Ma made the leap from advertising to filmmaking, as well as how he innovated his personal style of shooting food. They also compare notes on perfect imperfection, Japan, and craft services on film sets.
