His food is as good and as exciting as everyone says it is. David Chang has opened up a new direction in dining and cooking. With his troika of Momofukus, he changed the whole game. Scary-smart, funny, and ambitious, the wildly creative Chang is the guy all chefs have got to measure themselves by these days.\" \n\u003cb\u003e--Anthony Bourdain\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"As a food professional I am always on the look out for the new, the different, and the delicious.
