The Dave Chang Show The Ringer

Thank you so much for sharing your podcast with your wife Grace. It moved me in a way I can’t put in words. I implore you to continue to be the best version of yourself for your family, friends, community, etc. May your empathy continue to grow!

Such an interesting and thought provoking podcast, there’s really nothing like it out there. Thank you!

I found this podcast fascinating. I love good food and follow David Chang’s instagram, that’s how I got here. David Chang and his guests have expanded my understanding of professional kitchens, restaurants and the Michelin system, as well as giving some really candid insight into the personal pressures that drive the environment in the restaurant business, mental health struggles and all. Having worked in touring music I heard a lot of parallels between these chefs and musicians. Working so hard for certain markers of success and then putting insane pressure on themselves to chase validation. It’s so important to bring this stuff out into the light, I am absolutely sure that listening to these chefs talk about their experiences will help younger chefs when they go through their own stuff now. I have also really enjoyed hearing discussion of some really detailed niche cheffy stuff, not the kind of conversations non-chefs usually get to hear, and it’s fascinating.
