In this episode, the podcast delves into culinary identity and cultural nuances, all through the entertaining lens of Dave Chang’s encounter with a lookalike and Chef Edward Lee’s experiences on the competitive cooking show, Culinary Class Wars.

The conversation also highlights Lee’s dedication to sustainability with his new restaurant, Shia, and promotes his cookbook, Bourbonland, which offers a fresh perspective on Korean cuisine and its place in American dining.
