Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

We’ve all felt it — that gnawing belief that life would be better somewhere else. A better job, a better partner, a better version of you. In this episode, we break down the proverb “The grass is greener on the other side” and expose the illusion it feeds.

Where did this saying come from? Why does it still grip us in the age of filters, FOMO, and fabricated perfection? And what’s the real cost of always chasing what’s next?

Join Zeroack and Zerobit as they dig into envy, regret, and the dangerous fantasy of elsewhere.
