The duo discusses a buffet's worth of topics, from GLP-1s to sandwiches, sports betting to why Vegas is struggling, and hot dog–eating contests.
They finish with a game of Inappropriate Dinner Conversations, which gets a little NSFW and a lot character-revealing.

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.

haha, what you guys think?
Just came across this podcast! I really enjoyed the Anthony Bourdain episode. It shows how many lives he touched, as well as the impact he had on the culinary community in general. Thank you for this episode.
Baali's in wailuku Maui, or Kahului at kau kau market. Good banh mi
Thank you for making me feel normal for being grown and still scared as sh$t to watch horror films because of being scarred for life as a kid - Poltergeist for sure, plus An American Werewolf in London. But y'all should watch Get Out. It's not scary scary.
wow, what happened to this podcast? It was so full of interesting guests and great conversations and ideas. Now it feels like scrolling through pinterest.

Mouth watering over the Taiwan restaurant recs ~50 minutes in
this makes me so angry. i am hurt for his family and everyone in this industry. his influence and spirit will live through culinary, and food, and all that it evokes.
Thank you for sharing your memories of chef Floyd with us Dave!
As a dad, you have to get real about climate change and how meat is not sustainable to this new world. you need to be part of the movement to use meat sparingly, if at all.
This was fantastic. Right now, I have no other words. I think I'll listen to it at least once more.
Sean Balto? Sean Malto.......
The philosophy, which David Chang has, is very thoughtful. And I'm totally agree with that. I'm dreaming about to be Chang's team member in future. Thanks for your podcast.
Great interview and a great guest. Smith has great insights on creativity. She's right, the person with great ambition will excel over one with "natural talent." Fantastic questions from Dave. Yes, cooking, as with anything, can be art. That lies with the cook, and the diner to decide. You can find it from a food truck, or a 4 star restaurant.
thank you for this episode. i love pottery and asian culture in general
Long as hell, but I think it's funny.
I dont know if David Chang ever looks at comments but someone please pass on to him that there is solid research about gut envirodome health and mood disorders. as chefs the alcohol and foods you eat may not be healthy gut bacteria you need. there are 2 specific types that are low in people with depression and anxiety.PLEASE GET TO A DOCTOR AND GET YOURS CHECKED!!
hey david Chang. I know you don't really fuck with soccer all that much but Asians do a have a premier talent in pro sports right now. Son Heung-Min from Tottenham Hotspur. he's a top 10 player in the world right now but doesn't get enough love. imo it's because he's Asian. check him out and throw some love at him because the boy deserves it!
david. as you have your child please be a leader in reflecting on the cost of climate change associated with meat as well as the cruelty of factory farming.
