A few weeks ago I was walking through Publix and saw some spicy noodles that looked tasty so I grabbed the MOMOFUKU and tossed them in the cart. Today I was wanting a snack and figured I'd finally bust out a pack of those noodles. Now while I'm smashing the noodles I need some KZhead to entertain me and this episode pops up. I didn't read the title just saw Steve's podcast and said yup that'll do. Start smashing the noodles and realize David Chang created this whole lunch atmosphere for me lol. Dumb personal side note but I thought it was neat. Also, great podcast
That is neat! Love those universal coincidences
I love this part. "Seth, I appreciate your independent thinking, that out of the box thinking"
David Chang is a hero of mine. I credit him with my introduction to Ramen in Kansas City in 2011 or 2012. I'd always considered Ramen a struggle meal until a joint opened up across the street from my buddy's apartment in KC. What a legend, what a story.
I am surprised Dave Chang has not been on a Meat Eater episode yet. Steve has to take him fishing.
yeah that'd be pretty damn cool to see them both fish then cook
It would have a tremendous impact if Steve showed up at the Washington state fish and wildlife commision meeting, in Olympia, friday October 27th! Please we need help!
Why are you scared of special draws?
Dave's Netflix series Ugly Delicious is great. He's a real dude.
love the video podcasts guys. seriously so good
I hate been waiting for this for years! My two favorite individual podcasts finally meet! Make this a monthly thing please, with getting Dave into the game!
I enjoyed listening to the entire episode. Two takeaways from David; “to be successful, you have to show up.” And “I wonder if the juice is worthy the squeeze?” Thanks for the discount too. Cheers, Skillet
Great show. I usually don't kill permit, but had a shark eat a tail off one while f[y fishing Grand Bahama so had a restaurant cook it for us. Unbelievably good! David has got to try it.
WTF. Those commercial fish dumps need OUTRAGEOUS fines. That is beyond unacceptable. Needs to be fined tens of millions for such wastefulness for fishery destruction on that scale
The worst is when a whole library of recipes are thrown away when a restaurant closes and I know there are binders of recipes that go to the dumpster. I experienced it and have huge regret not banging down the door for that encyclopedia of information.
One of my favorite Chefs. Love Momo noods and chii crunch.
Always welcome David to Central Otago NZ.
Great show. Did they take the code down? Not working for me.
This was great.
The rabbit expression is used by Stephen Tyler in an Aerosmith song, I believe “sweet emotion”
I went to a lab building in OKC in the late 60s/early 70s that performed the rabbit pregnancy testing. A buddy of mine's Dad worked there.
Please do an episode on WDFW. People need to know whats going on. Hoping it would help folks keep the same thing from happening in their home states.
“Can’t catch me ‘cause the rabbit done died” Aerosmith
"I wanna see people with bones in their hair man" lmao
That color-coded bookcase looks so good.
Steve is putting chili crisp on everything now. *David eats a jar a day
Listen to the Aerosmith Song - Sweet Emotion. I pulled into town in a police car Your daddy said I took it just a little too far You're telling her things but your girlfriend lied You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died Yes it did
Sometimes it takes a second set of eyes to get more beans
Has the discount code worked for anyone?
Isn’t working for me as of 5 minutes ago.
Howdy folks! There was an error with the code, it's actually MEATEATER20 Thanks for watching!
@@MeatEaterTVthat one doesn’t work either
@@MeatEaterTVthat one doesn't work either
Neither code works. And the link in the KZhead description doesn't give a discount either
Guys have you never listened to the song Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith? "You can't catch me 'cause the rabbit done died". LOL
I love it but it reminds me how lazy I am. But getting it done is getting it done.
👍👍👍
So way off topic they had a Google news flash talking about duck hunting. It goes on to say that duck hunting is dying because of the old dying off or being to old to hunt . An the young being not interested with the age of social media. But the comments went in to massively say it cost too much guides , guns , waders , ammo. Which I mostly agree. They even talked about land being loss and private land being to high to afford. I was just wondering what was your guys thoughts on it.
Steven is really into that unbuttoned looked, one more button unbuttoned and he'd be a hippie
Great convo
I have a lot of catching up to do holy smokes
A sacrifice to the algorithm gods
There was MASH episode about the rabbit pregnancy test. They wanted to use Radar's pet rabbit to carry out a pregnancy test for....
Omega Protein has ruined the Striped Bass population for recreational fishing in the Chesapeake Bay. They have gone on to pay off the state of Virginia and avoided any substantial penalties for their environmental impact! This needs more attention and punitive actions. Michael, Portsmouth Virginia.
same thing happens in so cal with squid fishing
Bring David onto meat eater Trivia.
I like this episode. Great guest. I don't know who does the set design, and I can appreciate wanting decor that's clean, organized, and does not become the focus of the work. But, nobody organizes, stacks, or displays books in that manner. It's seriously weird. It gives the show a manufactured, pseudo-intellectual, and CNN-esque feel instead of the real and organic vibes I like about the show.
Chang had a crazy 10-year span, but moving to LA after the pandemic is the most questionable life choice;)
Great guest. Have been listening since that first podcast but have been tuning out lately. Too much trivia and other BS.
For real. Especially woth the pushing products, like all these other people I "grew up" watching
Maybe it's not for you.....
Agreed I used to always look forward to Monday for the podcast, lately I’m lucky to make it halfway through before going to something else
I love trivia
That one needed a language disclaimer, had to turn it off with the kids in the car. Good content, but heavy on F bombs
Agreed, kind of hard to take someone serious when every other word is an F word
Why are you associating with one of the biggest goofs of a chef . Why ? Get some real movers on like Dan barber
I don’t want to be that Dad but I would love to listen to this with my kids without worrying about a guest dropping 500 f*#ks. Great guest with a tiny vocabulary. 🤷🏻♂️
Delete this episode Steve. Chang is quite possibly the pinnacle of scumbag
Changs ego is insane. I know chefs are confident but this dude has to be playing a character
"KZhead has ruined originality, chefs aren't as good or original as us and the ones i grew up with", "cooking is like being in the special forces" God this guy is so pompous. Get over yourself.
@@andrewchristopher296 He is speaking straight facts. Social media influencers have made every discipline a clickbait joke
@@Verlisify I'm not talking about influencers. KZhead has given people the opportunity to learn how to cook many traditional and original dishes, more than ever before. The boundaries and gatekeepers of cooking like Chang are just relics of the past now, and he's bitter because he's not afforded the same opportunity to learn from a global library. You think people aren't learning visually now? Or getting inspiration from previously innaccessible recipes? There is a new wave of cultural exchange in cuisine, and you just distilling the argument down to "Social media influencers" is such a dull and rudimentary argument.
@@andrewchristopher296 Weird how you dismiss the reality that most influencers are fraudulent just to make a buck which is far worse than commenting on how social media has taken the scene down a bit. Its completely true there is less genuine original food because of all the garbage being made into KZhead videos for KZhead and Tik Tok
Dude has always been obnoxious. He also cries racism and appropriation every chance he gets.
