Description
David Chang's memoir Eat a Peach is a candid and humorous account of his journey to becoming one of the world's most influential chefs. Born into a deeply religious Korean American family, Chang grew up feeling like an outsider before finding purpose in cooking and sharing food with others. As he recounts the twists and turns of his life, from teaching English in Japan to opening Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York City, Chang lays bare his struggles with mental illness, feelings of inadequacy, and the industry's darker side. With unflinching honesty, he balances his love for cooking with a deep understanding of its power to bring people together. Through Eat a Peach, Chang offers a unique perspective on restaurant life and the search for meaning in the kitchen. This is a story about finding purpose, agency, and hope through the simple act of sharing delicious food.
