Travel Tips: How to eat like a local with David Chang

David Chang, the celebrity chef and restaurateur, explains how to have the best food experiences when you travel.

Walk in like a local, go big on taste but small on cost, and always eat with strangers: The David Chang episode of Travel Tips is served.

When David Chang travels, he travels to eat. And when he does, he throws away the guidebook, gets lost, and always follows his stomach.

In this episode of Travel Tips, he shares the top foodie destinations to visit and why some of the best places to eat in Asia are in the most uncool locations (think office buildings, bus stops, train stations...).  

“Eating like a local” is key to David’s travel ethos and he shares some of his favorite stories from his culinary adventures around the world. Plus, he explains why gatecrashing a local’s 50th in an Istanbul kebab shop might be the best meal you’ll ever have.
