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.

Hello everyone, a warm welcome to all of our new listeners and of course all of you who have been with us since the early days. It’s been a long time since we spoke! Firstly, we want to apologise to all of you listening here for not updating you all on what’s happening with the show. We had sent a message out on Twitter and Instagram, but of course, not all of you have access to or use those platforms- and we just didn’t realise that, so that’s why we’re posting this message today. As I’m sure you noticed, we haven’t posted an episode in a couple of weeks. We had to pause the show for a few weeks. Last month in August, our baby son passed away and it’s been a really difficult time for us. So we took time off work and really focussed on our wellbeing and grieving. But we’re now doing much better and we’re ready to get the show going again. In the meantime, the show has continued to grow and we’re so excited. We’ve grown to over 1000 followers on Twitter- so thank you!! So stay tuned- we’ll have an episode out in the next week or two. In the meantime, good luck to everyone who’s just started their PhDs! We’ll be here to support and get you all through what will be some of the most exciting years of your life! In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can email us at contact@howtophd.show , or follow us on twitter and instagram @howtophdshow, for all of the latest updates.
