The Dave Chang Show

Dave has director and filmmaker David Ma in the studio, who is known for his amazing work with food on-screen.

Dave makes an unusual pairing of delicious dishes for David: a breakfast burrito and clay pot rice. See if he can nail them both ... or neither?

The duo discusses how David Ma made the leap from advertising to filmmaking, as well as how he innovated his personal style of shooting food. They also compare notes on perfect imperfection, Japan, and craft services on film sets.

Dave makes a quick snack that you might see more and more often in the coming years: dried squid.

He talks about the rising amount of cephalopods in the ocean, discusses the specific umami and texture of squid, and ponders whether it might be coming to more and more grocery store shelves near you.

He also answers an Ask Dave about London eating and general dining strategy when on a short trip in a new place.

Dave cooks jangjorim, a Korean braised dish usually served as a side, but that Dave thinks could be an entree and a star. 

He also discusses how to know when rice is properly washed, as well as the difference between mu radish and daikon (amongst other Korean and Japanese foods). 

Dave finishes the episode by answering an Ask Dave about who he would want as company for his dream last meal and his answer is...surprising.

Dave makes a delicious, two-ingredient dish that he hasn't had since he was a child: potato jeon.

Along the way, he makes a second unusual potato dish that his grandmother loved, talks about both of his grandmothers, and reflects on the value we place on certain foods—and how much the value is shaped by our personal experiences.

Dave closes with an Ask Dave about when servers don't write down your orders.
