The Dave Chang Show

Dave has Eddie Huang, author of 'Come Undone', co-host of Canal Street Dreams, and chef, on the show for a conversation that is funny, vulnerable, and illuminating.

They talk about their friendship and its complicated beginnings, Eddie's move back to New York City, and the return of Eddie's restaurant, Baohaus.

Dave and Eddie also run through some Baohaus dishes and talk about the dishes' inception, execution, and impact.

Dave puts together an all-star team: his starting 11 for if there was an American team in a Chef World Bowl. Difficult decisions are made, lots of incredible and important American chefs are discussed, and a roster is created, which Dave almost immediately regrets. 

He also answers an Ask Dave about his appearances on cooking competition shows as a judge, and if he would join as a contestant.

Dave also talks about his recent inaugural visit to a Whataburger, and what the trip made him wonder about regional fast food chains. He finishes with a Home Ec, discussing kitchen equipment, starting with the potato ricer.

Today's bracket focuses on the world's great chicken dishes...Dave, Chris, and Marc also compete in a Dinner Delivery Party, each ordering delivery and trying to win the most of 5 categories with their orders focusing on chicken dishes. Who will be the first Dinner Delivery Party champion? Whose order might not even make it to the playing field?

Dave makes the supposedly ideal lean-to-fat ratio burger, a 70/30 blend...and it proves to be true!The ratio serves as a route for deliciousness, but it isn't found in that many grocery stores, which more commonly have 90/10 or 80/20. Dave delves into the history behind this and predicts that the 70/30 blend may be coming back. He grinds his own blend and makes a delicious cheeseburger for himself and Chris Ying, with lots of knowledge shared and lots of delicious meat consumed. Watch our past episode on tteokgalbi: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2I5Nnpxp2j7NYVv0r1uiP0?si=HHynvWJnQOuvT6_DXBoCBwWatch our past episode on the rise of burgers: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2pfnJxYHg1zhK39J10B4UH?si=RTBaRncqR06L0iDoQLiOjQWith Vrbo, what you book is what you get.

Dave makes a dish from his past, Marco Canora's gnocchi from his days at Hearth. It's been over 20 years, but Dave can still remember the kitchen like it was yesterday.

Food serves as time travel, taking him back in time as he makes this 2-ingredient dish and a beurre monté. 

Grateful for his time there and reminiscing on what he learned, Dave also does a lot of work with only 2 ingredients, resulting in a dish that is fluffy, pillowy, and delicious.
