If you are like me and your comfort TV shows are Chopped and Chef’s Table, this is the book for you! In this memoir, Momofuku founder David Chang discusses how he found his way into the restaurant business, as well as how he built Momofuku into the enterprise it is. Chang also candidly tells readers about his struggles with bipolar disorder and depression, and how his issues with anger management would spill into the workplace.

My one qualm with this book was that I felt like it attempted to tackle several ideas, thus some chapters were more fleshed out than others. Additionally, if you’re not as familiar with the restaurant or food scene, you may be a bit lost, as Chang name drops a number of famous restaurants and chefs. However, I enjoyed this book overall - Chang’s voice was blunt and he never shied away from discussing his shortcomings, which I felt was refreshing for a memoir, and I loved learning more about the restaurant business and now want to read more books from chefs.
