Green Beans

Chef David Chang and the members of the Recipe Club sift through millions of recipes to find the very best way to make the food you want to eat (subjectively speaking, of course). From plant-based meat to broccoli to seaweed, Chang and friends are determined to cut through the noise. Each week, they cook one dish, debate it, and ultimately figure out a few ways to make it tastier, too.

Sweet Potato Pie

Chris is joined by special guests Rachel Khong and Priya Krishna to discuss (and cook with!) one of the trendiest purple tubers you'll hear about this year: ube. In this episode, the Recipe Club puts Brandi Yamada's recipe for Sweet Potato Haupia Squares through the ringer. Rachel had to make her version in under 20 minutes, Chris makes his in a slow cooker, and Priya had to make her version using only shelf-stable ingredients.

Dave and Chris are joined by special guest Dave Arnold to run up the score on his very own Game Day Pork Chili recipe! This is one of those recipes that you can make a huge batch of and be everyone's favorite tailgate buddy. But, as usual, the Recipe Club isn't going to take the easy way out. Dave does a Caribbean-inspired spin based on the true story of Jamaican oxtail, Chris tried an Italian-style fusion, and the guys—kind as ever—insisted that Dave Arnold turn this pork chili dish into a cocktail.
