I am smitten with David Chang. Perhaps its because he is irreverent (maybe that is why he and Anthony Bourdain seem to be BFFs). Perhaps because I love ramen and it appears he enjoys it, too. Perhaps because the previous issue of Lucky Peach included his recipes for kimchi. Any one of those reasons is reason enough, I think. Unfortunately, however, I don’t live near San Francisco, or NYC, to hear him chat about foods that I love. But if you do live in the Bay Area, you should check him out on July 17, 2012, at the Herbst Theatre. Sad face.
