The Dave Chang Show - Podcast Rankings and reviews

As a practicing trademark attorney and ardent fan of all things food here. The way Dave and his team responded to the chili crunch trademark controversy in last Friday’s episode was a masterstroke. To those who don’t know how the system works, it’s a good insight into the flaws of the trademark system and all of the comments about Dave being a “bully” could not be more unfounded. Refusing to enforce the mark at potentially great peril to your business shows you have actual skin in the game and care deeply about the AAPI community — something none of your larger competitors would do.

To everyone belly-aching about how the Momofuku team has handled it, I’ll put it In simple terms: Basically, the Momofuku Team just picked up a five-to-six figure tab (worth of legal fees) at dinner, and everyone who ate is complaining that Dave Chang didn’t pull out his credit card fast enough. If anything, the angry mobs trying to hurt his business are the real bullies. The Momofuku team and Mr. Chang should be commended for rightfully following the procedures of trademark law, picking up the tab on legal fees, and allowing any business to use the mark.

This was a thoroughly principled response and Momofuku, Mr. Chang and his team will always have my respect for this. To everyone hurling abuse at Chang and his team in these reviews: Inform yourselves of what just happened here. A move like this from a company is extremely rare.

I love this podcast. Former five star rating, but the sound mixing has just been driving me nutso recently. Really inconsistent between the two primary hosts, guests, and ads. It’s fine if you are at home and listening on a speaker you can easily adjust, but I would not listen when wearing earbuds or while driving. Also good chance I’m just going deaf or something. Again, love everything about this podcast, but the sound mixing (or whatever it’s called) this season is off.

DC offers honest insights into today’s dining experiences & future trends in the restaurant industry. His commentary has given me a greater appreciation for the workers in the restaurant business. What I really enjoy is his international experiences to tell the listeners what excellence really looks like, i.e., sushi from Japan versus anywhere in the US. I do miss his interviews, e.g., Dr. Kim.

I haven’t found anything good to listen to in so long, but I found myself watching the show on TV and realized there’s a podcast. David has the same sense of humor as me so I find myself laughing constantly!! such a great take on different types of foods & other interesting relevant topics! I’m totally in, but why does your art for the podcast look like a character on South Park? L O L is that on purpose???

Love the show…. Until the episode of ambitious restaurant Dave mentioned restaurant about Taiwan dishes and called the people THAI. This is so culturally inaccurate and insensitive. Thai are from Thailand, and Taiwanese are from taiwan! Pls correct that.

I’ve become really bored with this podcast. Seems Dave is tired of talking about food and really wants to have a sports podcast. Feels like a Simmons knock off and not a pod about food and restaurants. Episodes seemingly take forever to get going. And like most pods has devolved into two people with their inside jokes just laughing at everything the other says. Had to turn last episode off. Has really gotten unlistenable. Same as Simmons with all the silly references referring back to unrelated stuff. Loved this podcast but it’s jumped the shark.
