EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, featuring Joe Rogan and Adam Perry Lang, Joe Rogan Experience #1469 - Adam Perry Lang explores chef Adam Perry Lang On Surviving COVID, Steakhouses, Knives, Craft Joe Rogan talks with chef and restaurateur Adam Perry Lang about the devastating impact of COVID-19 on restaurants, using Adam’s Hollywood steakhouse APL as a case study. Adam explains how he pivoted from full-service dining to 10–15% capacity takeout and charity cooking for frontline workers while struggling with rent, loans, and staff cuts. They dive deep into the craft and science of dry‑aged beef, steak cooking methods, knife making, and ethical meat sourcing, revealing how much true “art and craft” lives behind a great restaurant. The conversation also ranges into fly-fishing, bowhunting, media’s effect on chef culture, and the difficult ethical balance between public health and economic survival.
