David Chang said the memoir was already published and described it as a candid look at his chaotic life, noting he had been pretending it didn't exist to cope.

"

I want to ask you about your book. Can you talk a little bit about your new book?

Yeah. Eat a Peach. Great song. Yeah. Fuck, man. It's out. It's a memoir. You can read about my crazy life. I don't even understand why it's out there. I've been pretending that it didn't happen. That's the easiest way for me to get through life.

Right, because it's so revelatory. You're so open and honest in it, so it's kind of like you have to pretend, right? That everybody's not reading about what you're thinking about.

I did. I don't know. That's why I was like, you guys are so good at doing this shit. I don't know how. It's... I was... Of course, I read all the criticism. And people are like, yeah, he shouldn't have read his own book.

Dave is out with a new memoir, Eat a Peach. The book is about his unlikely journey to becoming a Michelin star and James Beard award-winning chef. It also chronicles his upbringing and struggles with mental health.

It's called Eat a Peach Memoir.

Your book is called Eat a Peach, as we've said, and it's a portrait of a big peach being pushed up a mountain by a little black silhouetted man.

in the wake of COVID-19 and other subsequent pandemics, the vast majority of independent restaurants have been allowed to die. Fast food won. People who tell stories about the restaurant dining era are dismissed like music fans who never got over Elvis.

in the wake of COVID-19, the government recognized the essential work of the food industry and helped independent restaurants recover from the financial toll of the pandemic. More people are cooking and growing food at home. Cooks and chefs help lead the way out of the COVID-19 pandemic, both by feeding those in need and by leveraging their expertise to help the world safely adapt to a new landscape.
