That’s one surprising bit of culinary advice renowned chef David Chang shared in the latest episode of his podcast, The Dave Chang Show. Cue shock/outrage… Chang – the man behind New York’s Michelin-starred Momofuku Ko – stirred the pot by claiming the only reason home-cooked burgers were associated with the barbie was “nostalgia” and the opportunity to socialise in the backyard.
