The Ringer

Dave Chang has a few questions. Besides being the chef of the Momofuku restaurants and the creator and host of Netflix’s 'Ugly Delicious,' Dave is an avid student and fan of sports, music, art, film, and, of course, food. In ranging conversations that cover everything from the creative process to his guest’s guiltiest pleasures, Dave and a rotating cast of smart, thought-provoking guests talk about their inspirations, failures, successes, fame, and identities.

The Dave Chang Show

Today, Dave lives más. Dave is joined by Brett Pluskalowski, senior manager of food innovation at Taco Bell. Dave creates a new dish that he hopes will one day make it to the Taco Bell menu, while the duo talks about how Taco Bell innovates, what makes a dish resonate, and how to scale a new recipe to thousands of restaurants. Dave finishes by answering an Ask Dave about music.

Modern Food Media With Ruby Tandoh

Today, Dave sits down with Eric Wareheim and Gabe Ulla, authors of the new book 'Steak House: The People, the Places, the Recipes'. Amongst friends, the discussion ranges from the magic of steakhouses to the ideal steakhouse order. The myriad types of potato sides are listed, the right way to order a martini is declared, and the idea of the steak dinner celebration as a descendant of the old-school hunt and sacrifice is posed. Dave also cooks a wet-aged and a dry-aged (or, at least, a little less wet-aged) steak for the cowriting duo.
