David Chang Talks Mental Health, Insomnia, and Star Wars

David Chang isn't sleeping much these days. It was never his strong suit, but with a new baby, an ever-expanding restaurant and market empire, and a media company to oversee, rest is even more elusive. That doesn't mean that he's abandoned all self care, though. If anything, he's more determined than ever to manage his own mental health and talk about it for the good of the industry, even if it's the last thing on earth he wants to do. The Momofuku Group and Majordomo Media founder sat down to talk to Food & Wine senior editor Kat Kinsman about managing his wellbeing—with a few lessons from Star Wars. Chefs and restaurant workers take great care of everyone else, but often they need a little help themselves. Each week on the Communal Table podcast, Kinsman talks with hospitality pros about how they manage their businesses, brains, and bodies for the long haul.
