Resources Career Spotlight: Sandia Chang, Co-Founder of Kitchen Table

5 Aug 2026

Sandia Chang arrived in New York with a knife roll and the conviction that if she could make it as a chef there, she could make it anywhere. She was wrong about the chef part, and it turned out to be the most useful mistake of her career. She talks to us about running a restaurant with the husband she argues with every single day, why empathy matters more than any wine list, and the daily balancing act of being a mother, a wife, and a restaurateur all at once.
