I think the basic thing that home cooks can learn how to do is just season properly... If the home cook realized how little salt they use compared to what's needed, it would make their food taste better.
Quote by -David Chang
I look forward to the spring vegetables because the season is so short. Mushrooms, edible foraged herbs, wild leeks, early season asparagus.
Quote by -David Chang
New York gives us a wide colour palette to cook from. We have cuisines from around the world, and that lets us pick and choose.
Quote by -David Chang
I love chicken. I love chicken products: fried chicken, roasted chicken, chicken nuggets - whatever. And going to Japan, I would see that these chicken were smoked and then grilled and then have this amazing crispy skin.
Quote by -David Chang
One of the benefits to ordering food in New York is that you can get food 24/7.
Quote by -David Chang
Everyone tries to compare cooks to rock stars. I see more comparisons to the fashion world.
Quote by -David Chang
When I was in Japan, everyone wanted to work for Pierre Gagnaire, and they wouldn't miss a beat.
Quote by -David Chang
If you ask what people say what American cuisine is, they cannot really do it. I don't know what it is.
Quote by -David Chang
I think being Shaquille O'Neal would be the most amazing thing. There's nothing I would have done differently in his life. Everything he's done I think is pretty spot on, even, like, the bad rap videos, the shoes, the movies, everything.
Quote by -David Chang
Just because something's been good in the past doesn't mean it will continue to be good.
Quote by -David Chang
Before I had my own restaurant, I was never top dog in the kitchen. I've always had a low opinion of myself as a cook.
Quote by -David Chang
Any processed chicken from any place - I'll order it in a heartbeat. I'm very picky about my pork, though.
Quote by -David Chang
If I have a really bad cook or a bad manager or bad sous-chef, I previously would have fired them or lost my temper. But now I realize that if I'm so right, then I should be able to communicate it so clearly that they get it.
Quote by -David Chang
Fine dining teaches you how to cook many different things, and it gives you the basic fundamentals, but these specialty restaurants, they're not teaching you the broad foundation you need to become a well-rounded cook.
Quote by -David Chang
People are getting famous now for serving food out of a truck, or for, well, pork buns. I don't know if I'm really pleased to be a part of that. I'm somewhat terrified of what the future holds, especially in America.
Quote by -David Chang
I love the intensity of the fine-dining kitchen, but loathe the fine-dining experience.
Quote by -David Chang
There are many things to admire about Japan but this is the one thing I love the most and probably the only time I eat breakfast. Fish, eggs, soup, salad, veggies; all in the tiniest bites. It's a full meal, but it's so refreshing.
Quote by -David Chang
I'm grasping with how you do something on a large scale with multiple operations and not have quality decrease.
Quote by -David Chang
The Momofuku Culinary Lab started as a space where we could focus on creating and innovating. I didn't want us to worry about working on projects in a restaurant; there are just too many distractions in service and running a kitchen to be able to focus on creating your dishes.
Quote by -David Chang
'Tampopo's amazing. I think it's an absolutely fantastic movie, but I don't think it captures for me the meaning of food.
Quote by -David Chang
Growing up, my dad owned a restaurant in Washington, DC, and food was something I was passionate about. But when I finally got into it, I felt like it was so late in the game; that's why I worked seven days a week at Craft and Mercer Kitchen. I wanted to see how far I could take it.
Quote by -David Chang
Yes, natural is good and healthy, and whole foods are important. However, experimentation is important, too.
Quote by -David Chang
Why can't it be awesome to work for a food company? Why can't we create an environment where people are trying to push each other to do great things, and we're not trying to steal from anybody - we're trying to be good to our farmers and run an honorable business, if there is such a thing anymore?
Quote by -David Chang
Shouldn't a three-course meal be 90 minutes? Do you know how hard you have to edit your menu to pull that off? Twenty-seven minutes. That's the average meal at Jiro's in Tokyo.
Quote by -David Chang
I learned so much more prepping vegetables than I ever did in cooking school.
Quote by -David Chang
I constantly think I'm a fraud - that this success is not warranted or justified.
Quote by -David Chang
People are trying to figure out what American food is; it's certainly an amalgamation.
Quote by -David Chang
There's the common misconception that restaurants make a lot of money. It's not true. If you look at maybe the top chef in the world, or at least monetarily, it's like Wolfgang Puck, but he makes as much money as an average crappy investment banker.
Quote by -David Chang
Contemporary ramen is totally different than what most Americans think ramen should be. Ramen is not one thing; there are many, many different types.
Quote by -David Chang
To me, there are two types of celebrity: there's good celebrity - people that are attracted to the food and working and trying to create something great - and then there's bad celebrity - those who are working on being a celebrity.
Quote by -David Chang
The one reason why I got into cooking was because I wasn't good at anything else - not that I was good at it, but it was considered honest work.
Quote by -David Chang
I'm not cooking every day anymore, and that's the biggest withdrawal. Cooking is honest work. Now I don't know how to measure myself.
Quote by -David Chang
I feel like I'm losing my ability to understand reality; like when someone loses their hearing, they can still speak English, but their speech eventually becomes distorted because they can't hear themselves.
Quote by -David Chang
Don't even get me started. I'm not against all vegetarians. But if you're a vegetarian for ethical reasons, you may be causing more harm.
Quote by -David Chang
If you're going to be a vegetarian, limit yourself to food from a place you can go to in two hours and just eat that.
Quote by -David Chang
When you meet the farmers and go to the farms, you see that they treat their animals like they're family. It makes a big difference.
