Summary
On the latest Off the Edge with Cam Jordan episode, Cam sits down with world-renowned chef and Netflix star David Chang for a conversation that goes far beyond food. Chang opens up about his rise from line cook to global restaurant mogul and the lessons football taught him along the way. He shares how his ultra-competitive upbringing, high school football days, and even facing off against Jonathan Ogden helped shape his drive and leadership in the kitchen. Cam and David also talk game day eats, David’s Commanders fandom, and how QB Jayden Daniels has him both excited and anxious every Sunday. Plus, Chang reveals his favorite cities for sandwiches, the secret behind great chefs and empathy, and why chicken fingers will always be his guilty pleasure.
