David Chang & Accountability (with Hannah Selinger) - a podcast by Bleav Podcast Network

It’s no secret David Chang has a temper; he’s personally shared accounts of his rage for years, most recently (and vividly) in his 2020 memoir, Eat a Peach. Chang has always controlled the narrative around his anger -- until writer and former Momofuku corporate beverage director Hannah Selinger wrote a thorough essay this past December for Eater about her time working for Chang and the toxic work environment he fostered.




In this special Hot Takes on a Plate, Selinger discusses with Rob Petrone how and why Chang has avoided any major backlash for his behavior over the years and what, exactly, accountability would look like in his case.
