Benu, tasting menus, and technique

Dave turns a solo episode into a shabu-shabu meal with our pal Chris Ying.

They talk about the beauty of dishes like shabu-shabu, whether they like fish balls, and how Dave makes a delicious sauce for the dish.

The duo then talks about Dave's recent trip to San Francisco, Chef Corey Lee and his restaurants, and both the admiration and ire Corey causes in Dave... for being so dang good.
