David Chang: The BlackBook Interview
We caught Chang, owner and proprietor of my favorite restaurants in New York—the Momofuku empire—for a few minutes. He gave us some great stuff:
You told Alan Richman, GQ Food Critic, to ‘open up his own fucking restaurant’. Do you think he could?
No, it was more just to be like, “I love you, Alan, but shut the fuck up.”How did you get set up with Peter Meehan for your cookbook?
Pete and I became friends over the years. I never knew who he was when he started coming into the restaurant, until Mark Bittman accidentally told me. Then I was like: “You’re the motherfucker who reviews restaurants.” He’d always come in for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays. He looked familiar, but I never knew that he was the Peter Meehan.And then some.
