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.

What's your biggest dream in life? Is it starting a multimillion-dollar business? Or is it competing professionally in a sport that seems way out of your league? Whatever it may be, we all have these desires deep in our hearts. It may seem crazy and impossible in the world's eyes, but you shouldn’t allow any racial stereotype or barrier to get in your way. If you move forward with ambition, you can achieve anything you put your mind to. In this episode, Jesse Iwuji shares his journey of becoming a professional racecar driver and making it to NASCAR. He describes what it's like working his way up and being part of the minority in the pro racing world. Jesse talks about winning over privilege and the mindset that got him closer to reaching his goals. Through his story, we learn that no racial stereotype can stop us from turning our vision into reality. Tune in to the episode to learn how you can achieve your dreams when the world tells you otherwise. 3 reasons why you should listen to the full episode:Discover how Jesse pushed past racial stereotypes in the NASCAR scene.

But he knew he couldn’t do it professionally anymore after graduating college. ● He naturally gravitated toward racing because of his love for cars and the sport. ● He started joining amateur races, competing on open track days using his personal cars. Eventually, his goal turned to become a professional racecar driver. ● Jesse immediately started researching. He found that there was a racial stereotype against being black when it comes to racing. You also needed to have connections. ● However, he already had a clear vision in mind. No racial stereotype or barrier was going to stop him. [5:35] Working His Way to the Top● Jesse started at the lowest level possible in NASCAR in 2015, racing with late-model stock cars. ● Every year, he continues to work his way up. ● Now, Jesse is racing at the national level. He’s only about a step or two below Bubba Wallace, who is on the highest level. ● Tune in to the full episode to hear about Jesse’s next big goal! [7:18] Being Part of the Minority in NASCAR● He tries not to look at it, but the racial stereotype is apparent in their industry. ● The number of African-Americans on the pit crew side is increasing, but not on the driver side. ● Many African-American drivers are working toward the national series and NASCAR. However, it takes a lot of resources, energy, effort, and networking outside of skill. ● Unlike other sports, there is a branding and networking side in making it to NASCAR; being a good driver doesn’t guarantee success. [9:22] Feeling Pressure● Jesse doesn’t feel pressure about being one of the two African-Americans in NASCAR. ● Since he started late, he knows he has more to learn and experience. ● Right now, he races part-time between seasons. Once he gets all the resources in place, that’s when he can run full seasons and start getting better. ● Everything is part of the process. It takes time, so you have to stay patient, keep grinding, keep your head down, and keep moving.
