Munchies: David Chang

[@johnkang2000]

David Chang kind of feels like a guy who tried something, got really rich doing it, not too sure why he's so good at it(or why people like it so much), and tries his best to not screw up what he's doing.

[@TheHilltopperNation]

I agree and that's why I like him. He seems modest about what he does. But for some reason he still gets a lot of hate. Not sure where that hate is really coming from

[@ieprince]

I think that' exactly the case.

[@jordanchen23]

And to all the people who hate on him for this, there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

[@jasonkang283]

He is very easy to relate to

[@apolloishawt]

Americas got talent

[@H3art5]

Have a lot of respect for this dude, first off, he's doing something, he knows that he's never going to be as good as the dude next to him who happens to be the best. But that doesn't stop him from becoming great in his own way, and be successful.

[@cirquedumaiquel]

Henry Cee this

[@dalefrye9361]

One of my favorite chefs of all time. I really hope Momo stays alive after all this Covid chaos ends.

[@Okaydeckhiad]

Sadly but to no surprise he has preemptively closed all of his restaurants, I hope for the same.

[@willp4623]

@@Okaydeckhiad I just had Momofuku a couple nights ago so I guess it’s open now.

He's worth $60 million dollars I don't think he will be closing anytime soon...

I love how Gary Vaynerchuk just happens to show up at 11:36. Both him and Chang are cool ass dudes who deserve all the success they get.

[@RyanLaBella]

Just saw this for the first time and was on a different tab listening while reading other stuff and INSTANTLY knew that voice and flipped back to see Gary. Love that dude so much. He took up so much of my time watching WineLibrary back in the day, cool as shit IRL too.

[@mgbdub2007]

Forget Gary - Travis kalanick at the same table.

[@BlindSwami_]

Gary Vee is a fucken cornball

[@somamute]

"some salt, some black pepper, and a couple hours of don't fucking worry about it" lol love it

[@Irkenpow]

I have been a chef for 20 years, and I completely relate. That man tells it how it is, he is a regular guy who is an excellent creative chef, humble, down to earth, you and me kinda guy. I would love to hang and drink with him.

[@scottmuck]

Gary Vaynerchuk popped in at 11:35. Funny.

[@cirquedumaiquel]

scottmuck 🤣🤣🤣

[@arvindsontha3157]

And he's with Travis Kalanick wtf

[@chanleystow]

Too bad Gary passed up on Uber

[@foreshadowing_panda3928]

Ahhhh this production and editing is so 2000's i love it! Just good fun to watch

[@IamAManNotAMadHobo]

Restaurant owners getting wasted. Munchies in a nutshell and I love it.

[@kobinrang]

Lol that’s Gary vee hahaha

[@kidjiujitsu]

David Chang is the man. my favorite chef hands down. he's just a good fucking person even though he's famous and rich, it doesn't seem to have changed him.

[@오세륜]

Brandon Wallace but he's low profile type of person ahaha

[@highdesertsunset3011]

How this guy turned an average idea, average food and an average Talent into a multimillion-dollar Empire is quite incredible

[@ACEntertatinment]

except hes just being modest and hes not an average chef with average talent lol

[@michelletran2637]

Hard work?

[@aleksulmer]

I love this guy, he's real. No facade, no tricks, he's just a genuine dude with realistic expectations of everything. Need to see more people like this around!

[@jeremyking6668]

I like how he's not down to cook and the minute he gets drunk he goes for it. drunk cooking, while it can be dangerous, is so much fun

[@radicalis88]

David Chang is a rock star. I love how he’s unfiltered and doesn’t try to put on an image of the highly decorated chef or put out pretentious vibes. He’s punk rock, not an orchestra in penguin suits. Blue collar. Passion for the people. Seems like a dude I’d love to kick it with.

[@geeganmj]

"Jose Andres just called me, should i call him back?" Chang you gotta love where you are at.

[@christianbolt8480]

The dude is hammered and kept it together! what a legend.

[@jhope1923]

Oh man Munchies used to be so badly produced lol.

[@micntr]

Jason Hope but it had quality material. nowadays it's just a bunch of hipsters on munchies.

[@foreshadowing_panda3928]

Noooo the production makes it, it's just some peoole messing around and enjoying food. Doesn't get much better then that!

[@PeruvianBanana89]

I feel it fits the theme of the show better. Thats why the old "A cook's tour" with Anthony Bourdain appeals to me(as a cook), it peels back this "skin" of romanticism the media encases around the real life or social activities of a cook. Which is usually alone or with other people in the same industry; more often than not, they're as socially remedial as you.

[@posthocprior]

I just googled "Peter Meehan" -- because I'd never heard of him, Wow. A lot can change in 10 years.

[@nSmatic]

Watching david chang makes me proud to be a chef. lmao

[@Turb1ne]

11:35 The "we're gonna have to handle it" guy is having the time of his life haha

[@matthewchow4991]

"I don't think I can handle that." "I think we're gonna have to handle this."

[@SK-kj1ge]

If you've never eaten at a David Chang restaurant, you have to go, it's not just hype -- his food is really comforting and tastes incredible

[@MrKhho100]

down to earth af Dave Chang is the man lmao

[@GoldenThreads1]

+Mr. K dont watch his videos tho if you have mad aspirations

[@majordomomedia]

af haha

[@drs8922]

bro puts himself down so much, but is actually REALLY good.

[@MrJacobemerson]

"here's to burning and looting, i think its a bob marly song but idk im drunk!" hahaha

[@christinel.4253]

Love watching this in 2022 and seeing how far Dave has come.

[@shii000]

This is hilarious! He was so drunk haha. Love how down-to-earth he seems.

[@GhostfaceGZA]

These are my favorite videos. More videos about chefs talking about their favorite places to eat please

[@MrKhho100]

idk why people are giving Dave smack when he owns a chain cuisine restaurant and makes at least 7 figures. Am I tasting salt from the haters?

[@shaz3r786]

+Mr. K maybe he hasn't stayed true to his working class roots by charging $10-$15 for a couple of steamed buns

[@xtralarsproductions]

+Mulch Diggums have you tried them? are they good - are they worth it?

[@shaz3r786]

Francosteiner they are nice but not worth the price... i have tried better in chinatown NY.

[@xtralarsproductions]

Mulch Diggums the bread didnt look so tasty to me, but 10-15$ is close to a big mac meal where im from, so doesnt seem so bad to me, if its delish

[@shaz3r786]

Francosteiner where are u from? we pay $6 for big mac meal

[@samwise575]

I went to this place in Toronto, the classic momofuku ramen is unbelievable. The pork buns are heaven. Great atmosphere as well

[@HeadKandyz]

I learned that David Chang doesn't know what to do with his hands.... and that's okay.

[@majordomomedia]

another thing ricky bobby and him have in common!

[@morganbishop1052]

Insane watching this now as you can really see how much the food culture has changed

[@techaprime]

Haha, Chang is hammered. I love it :P

[@laneicewatson5886]

sue lol julia sue the morning, and the 2 I don't have a great time at the time. I 8th. I am going on here and now the only solution. I have anniversary 4 the morning and? I am

LaNeice Watson wtf

[@Adrian-jw3sp]

LaNeice Watson yeah wtf

[@drugattik]

Anyone else notice Gary Vaynerchuk just chilling at 11:34? Mind blown. Don't even think David Chang noticed.

[@dietlamp]

Don't forget Travis Kalanick

[@dorianLanzius]

hahahahaha love all these munchies series, i think chefs and cooks all across America, at least what i've seen, we're a bunch of fucking pirates just looking for good food and great company. Rock on chefs!

[@alexandergoldman]

David was relatively coherent @ 7:57 considering how smashed he was... hilarious and uber chill

[@endoftheroadj]

david chang is the fucking man

[@thefertlson]

Real, humble, and honest dude, Vice needs more stuff with this guy

[@Designguidetv]

this video got Vaynerchucked

[@Cypheye]

I really like the feel of the atmosphere at momofukus, the food looks good can't wait to go there one day.

[@mentosmuncher]

Guy with glasses looks like an undercover Bradley cooper.

[@yandaoqing]

"uh you know... a couple teaspoons of salt, a bit of pepper, and a few hours of dont fucking worry bout it" LOL

[@andypahwa]

Wow, worlds colliding. Gary Vaynerchuk making an appearance at 11:38.

[@mallorymazer]

I thought i was the only one who noticed hahaha

[@doggieGZ]

Well what you said reminds me of a survey they mentioned in the movie "Waiting for Superman" (a documentary about the failing education system in America). The survey showed that the countries with the smartest kids (Korea, Japan, Finland) had modest amounts of confidence despite scoring the highest in math/science proficiency. And that Americans who scored among the lowest in math and science, had the highest responses towards thinking they did well on those tests.

[@adjusted-bunny]

11:35 Gary Vay-ner-chuck. I hope he brought some wine.

[@mjaxdes]

Yup! Cheng is not only my favorite chef but one of my favorite artists alive. He comes up with the most controversial dishes but hey.. he's having fun with it. I can imagine him going to White Castle at 2 am and just laughing it up to all the snob food critics !

[@bcasanave]

Do I spy Gary Vaynerchuk and Travis Kalanick at 11:35? Yes, yes I do.

[@rawras101]

i love how personal this was. also, seems like an awesome place to hang out

[@BrokeTheGamer]

Ole #GaryVaynerchuk cameo at 11:38 ... My dude.

[@damiangeneral3822]

David Chang killing the food game right now..Those buns looked on point and obviously very respected by all.

[@NicholasBraman]

Did I see ***** at 11:35? Awesome! Must have been good wine too.

[@thisttj]

Keep em comming V!CE, love almost all your stuff!

[@haroimdonard]

The west coast could use a Momofuku...

[@KrispyShiznay]

Actually it was $60,000 worth of shares at the time. The shares are currently valued at $140m

[@potugadu5160]

This guy is very unassuming

[@samboescondido5609]

Rewatch this after reading his memoir Eat A Peach and it hits different. You can see this is essentially David Chang howling "Wubba lubba dub dub"

[@Blueswailer]

I must just be thin-skinned or something to pick up vibes like this, but for some reason on a lot of these Munchies episodes the people who hang out with each other seem really passive-aggressive. Basically acting like pricks towards each other. Like they're a shot of whiskey away from slugging it out on the street. Maybe it's just the place I'm from, I don't know.

[@Thatkimm]

That's just how people in the food industry are. They're a bunch of egocentric, depressed, socially-retarded, drug-fueled, assholes. At least in my experience. But there are some exceptions.

[@Thatkimm]

No, like i said "Gari Whu", this is from my own experience. Working in kitchens 12 hours a day.

[@AKAKANADIAN]

***** Welcome to the cooks community.

[@lilchinesekidchen]

nah, they're just ball busting, Tons of people do it.

[@DerpyChef]

Cooks love to bust each other balls. When a waiter drops a plate, we don't get piss but we do a "Aahhh" kind of noise. Make fun of him a bit.

[@guitrr]

As soon as I ate a Momofuku Pork Bun, it instantly became my death row meal; unbelievably delicious!

[@kareemlaborde1162]

that office worker looks like she gets tagged teamed

[@MrLyricsz]

Discovered him on Treme. It's crazy that a tv show put real talented cooks behind the screen.

[@PB42189]

Sue is fine af

[@hugoballin]

Sue is actually a man so jokes on you.

[@ohlolololololollol]

james dutton Still fine.

[@PB42189]

james dutton consider me duped......and idc >)

[@LucidDream]

james dutton Sue isn't a man. Don't know where you got that info.

[@RussX5Z]

AGREE!! She's distracting me! But I don't mine! =)

[@iamalmightyme]

There's something refreshing about seeing someone not comfortable on film.

[@PhysioA]

Momo Fuk U ? rofl

[@CHiLECHiLL456]

THAT WAS FUNNY

[@xuice1932]

Gary V lmaooo of course! Now dave is probably one of the most recognizable chefs in the world and of course Gary V is there where it all started lol that’s awesome

[@merk1ne]

sue chan.......hot

[@EssJay00]

I really enjoyed the last video with David Chang and was glad to see another. Nice fuckin' work.

hell yeah

[@rutangamijeeugene8283]

[@Smashingcans1]

Man I want to work with David, or just to hang out with him and understand him, have him mentor me, just chill with him. I have mad respect for him.

[@SonOfTheMorning]

That chick is hot!

[@LucidDream]

***** Mediocre? Last time I checked, there were a lot of beautiful Asian women. Why compare?

[@LucidDream]

***** I have Asian fever too though. :P Too bad I live around pretty much nothing but white people. : \

[@RussX5Z]

LucidDream Come to Hawaii there are tons of Asian girls here, but unfortuantely there are many here that are stuck up and kind of shallow. But if you are good looking, you have a nice vehicle, and you have a lot of money then you should be okay. =) I would still choose South East Asia if I wanted to date and have sex with Asian women though.

[@andrewso781]

This episode should have been called Drunkies. HAHA David Chang and Jose Andres are hilarious when they interact.

[@MusicaNLAlma]

omg how embarrassing how he not only got shitfaced but in front of jose andres and then serves him ham??? wtf!!!! the man is from spain from where the best ham hails from. love you david but damn... kinda messed that one up lol

[@michaelmastro9382]

Musica NLAlma shut the fuck up

[@CJAEY]

He was actually in an episode of No Reservations in Koreatown

[@jwcorcoran9838]

I fucking love this dude - i'm not even a cook or a chef (i'm a musician); but i respect Dave so much for his success. He's inspirational

[@RacerEckss]

Chang ROCKS!! I love the fact that he is humble enough to admit that he felt out of place.

[@Raelsatu]

'And a couple hours of don't fuckin worry about it.' This guy is great.

[@X-AEA-12]

I love that Spanish dude and his show.

[@killadarkassasin]

Love this. Ive had many pork buns in my life, but I still say I haven't truly had one yet since I have not had David Chang's. Nuff said.

[@breyourself5274]

Chang: 🥴 “umm it’s a couple tae-teaspoons of...and a couple hours of don’t fucking worry about it” lmfao

[@association330]

This is an impressive admission that he's not as naturally talented as some other sous chefs he worked with, and decided to leave another upper-crust restaurant to learn more. It's the formula for how a lot of people learn how to command their own operation, and ultimately improve their skills.

[@mrdeebz75]

Love these episodes. Good shit.

[@haiyah6]

i think he meant it was a total surprise that jose andres, a chef he looks up to, would want to come to his restaurant at 2a.
