Eat a Peach: A Memoir Review: Honest, almost too honest - Besides mashing his gnarled thumbs into my pork buns when I visited his restaurant in 2004, Dave Chang has done nothing but make life my daily life more entertaining. Senor Chang has slowly become my favorite media personality over the course of the past decade. He is an extremely talented story teller. Unlike Anthony Bourdain, whom I think is only interesting to people who’ve never worked in a kitchen, Dave Chang’s insider knowledge of the daily functions of the restaurant business will be entertaining to anyone. His podcast is brilliant! I always wondered what types of people had time in their lives to listen to a podcast regularly and it turns out this person is me. It’s kind of like when you meet the right person you are going to marry and spend the rest of your life with…you know when you know. My only gripe with the Dave Chang Show Lodcast is the forced laughter by his lackeys at anything mildly funny the guys says. **note to podcast staff- Dave Chang is regularly extremely funny. You do not have to burst into hysterical laughter at the mildly funny stuff he says. It’s detrimental to the flow of the show. My only gripe with Eat A Peach Memoir is that he focuses too much on how he wants to kill himself and his depression. I applaud his efforts to raise awareness about mental illness, but it is too much of a focal point in this book. I do not think that anyone who doesn’t suffer from depression can truly understand it. I have someone in my life that suffers from depression and I constantly try to learn more about it, but I still do not understand it. Reading about depression is depressing and I think it may be slightly overstated in this book. I’d like to hear more stories about how his depression has caused him to totally destroy an innocent line cook during service than him itching about how he wants to kill himself. This would’ve delivered his message of ongoing depression in a more entertaining way. That being said, I gave this book 5 Stars because it is extremely entertaining, much like the person who wrote it. Review: David Chang's Memoir Is Food for Thought (terrible pun but I can't help it!) - I first came to know about David Chang when my niece took me to eat at his Momofuku Noodle Bar in NYC's East Village in the early 2000's. I thought of him only in terms of the spare look of the (tiny) restaurant and the delicious Asian-inspired food. Then I accidentally came across The Mind of a Chef on PBS. Chang was the featured chef in season one (and according to his memoir, was the originator of the series). I found him to be an original, innovative, wide-ranging, deep thinker and an excellent, engaging communicator and so have followed his career ever since. His memoir, Eat a Peach, is a chronicle of his life in food as a chef, restauranteur, tv star, podcaster, author, colleague/mentor, but even more so it is a set of brutally honest yet eloquent reflections on his struggle to continuously develop as a human being. Chang doesn't mention Socrates, but I'm sure he believes that the "unexamined life is not worth living." In Eat a Peach, we read that his bipolarism, difficult relationship with his father, and close friendship with Anthony Bourdain (who appeared to live with similar demons and ended his life by committing suicide) seem to drive Chang to question his considerable success with not a small degree of self-flagellation but, thankfully, with a great sense of humor and exceptional generosity towards young chefs as well. Written in a fast-paced conversational style (with the help of Gabe Ulla and Chris Ying), the book addresses the existential question of "Who am I?" Because Chang's life is a remarkable one, the book is a fascinating read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #964,560 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #63 in Culinary Biographies & Memoirs #378 in Celebrity & TV Show Cookbooks #1,466 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (3,648) | | Dimensions | 6.3 x 1.1 x 9.4 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 152475921X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1524759216 | | Item Weight | 1.25 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 304 pages | | Publication date | September 8, 2020 | | Publisher | Clarkson Potter | ## Images ![Eat a Peach: A Memoir - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Zo1lpy++L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest, almost too honest *by G***A on February 7, 2022* Besides mashing his gnarled thumbs into my pork buns when I visited his restaurant in 2004, Dave Chang has done nothing but make life my daily life more entertaining.

If you don’t, you won’t. If you’re not familiar with him, I highly recommend Season 1 of Mind of a Chef, this book, and Ugly Delicious, specifically the fatherhood episode. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/167575773-eat-a-peach-a-memoir](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/167575773-eat-a-peach-a-memoir) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
