Eat a Peach by David Chang, Gabe Ulla
4.0

This was a nice discussion of mental health and the restaurant industry, serving as a memoir for Chang and somewhat of an instructional guide for aspiring chefs (see Epilogue). I benefited immensely from hearing Chang narrate the audiobook, but I did feel a disconnect with the material. He can be brash, but I find him to be incredibly critical both of himself and others. But I did come into this book expecting it to discuss food from a chef's perspective, rather than his journey through his business endeavors, so that was a small disappointment.
