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.

26:19

For Emerson Day, storytelling came naturally from a young age. She was influenced by the sounds of a southern rock guitar and an old church piano. Growing up on her family's farm in Maryland, she would sit outside playing guitar and singing for hours. Emerson graduated from university as a decorated Lacrosse player with her degree in Homeland Security. The same competitive nature which drew her to sports and a career in federal law enforcement, quickly engaged when she felt God calling her to pursue music. It wasn't until she started leading worship at a small church in North Carolina that God showed her the path he truly had for her. Emerson signed her first record deal in 2022 with Fair Trade Services. Her debut to Christian music is on Micah Tyler’s song, “People Like Us” in January 2024. Here's an exclusive performance from Emerson Day. https://youtu.be/-Cy34eaL4lc?si=nO2lQSy-quM9da3q Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/what-else-with-corey-mann--5802358/support .…
