I read these essays on cooking and life in one sitting. Very entertaining and often recognizable for a foodie like me.
I smuggle a bit and use this book for the #SetInARestaurant prompt of #pop21 - with which I have completed the challenge 💃
Thanks for gifting me this fun book, @KarenUK ❤️

I‘m not sure which is more adorable, this book, or #HelloKitty sleeping in her new cat hut. 🐈‍⬛

Grilled cheese and Twitter wars, viral memes, and some really crappy adults aren‘t usually my cup of tea. But the two teen main characters are what made this book for me.

Eat A Peach: A Memoir | David Chang

pick

I took a detour from the audiobook to watch Ugly Delicious ( season2) and a few episodes of Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner. Good decision😉Through the Netflix series I was able to get a fuller picture of David Chang. David is definitely a larger than life presence. He‘s gregarious, quick witted, amiable but also manic and short tempered. And in raw honesty, David shares his dark side alongside his openness and eagerness to please and create. 👇🏼

Cinfhen I loved this audiobook read by David. He details his successes and failures, taking responsibility for all that has evolved over his first days of opening Momofuku, Noodle Bar. His final chapter offers good solid advice for anyone looking to start a business and the need for education. #Pop21 #SetInARestaurant #Booked21 #ColorInTitle #NonFictionChallege21 #WrittenByPersonOfColor 3y

Cinfhen Thanks for the recommendation @britt_brooke 💚and I think you‘d love this @KarenUK 3y

Cinfhen Yes @MargaretPinardAuthor He certainly does!!! Lots of F-bombs 😉😂😂 3y

Megabooks I definitely felt he “went there” in terms of this being a really introspective memoir. I liked that a lot. Plus reading @nelehelen ‘s in-depth own voices Korean-American review over on Instagram really gave me more insight into how his upbringing and relationship with his family affected his adulthood. She explained more about Korean families‘ feelings on mental health as well. David is a really complex, interesting guy. 3y

Cinfhen I read @nelehelen amazing review on GoodReads @Megabooks !!! I agree, she added an enormous amount of insight 💓💓💓 3y

Megabooks I‘m not on Goodreads, but I‘m happy to know you were able to read hers! 3y

alisiakae Great review! 3y

Cinfhen Thanks @4thhouseontheleft 💚 3y

KarenUK Definitely stacked! 💕😘 3y

britt_brooke Nice review! I‘m so pleased you liked it! The audio feels like having a casual conversation with him which I love. 3y

Cinfhen I‘m sure you‘re gonna LOVE THIS @KarenUK and yes @britt_brooke AUDIO is definitely the way to go on this one 💕💕🎧 3y

nelehelen @Cinfhen @Megabooks glad you guy enjoyed it! I also liked that it wasn‘t all about his chef life nor was it all about his personal life. Thank you guys for reading my review! ❤️❤️❤️ 3y

Eat A Peach: A Memoir | David Chang

Started this memoir last night on the recommendation from @britt_brooke
I‘m not really familiar with David Chang , aside from remembering the buzz around Momofuku, but it seems EVERYONE else is a fan
He is certainly a larger than life personality 😉 Using for #pop21 #SetInARestaurant #Booked21 #ColorInTitle #NonFictionChallenge21

Very entertaining so far

Megabooks I wasn‘t familiar with David either when I read it, but I ended up enjoying it - especially the second half when he gets really introspective 3y

Amor4Libros I LOVE David Chang and the book was great! 3y

Cinfhen I‘m just amazed at HOW DIFFICULT it is to be a chef, let alone a “celebrity” chef where everyone is watching, waiting to see if you‘ll crash & burn @Megabooks @Amor4Libros 3y

TrishB I still have no idea who he is! 3y

Cinfhen I know you don‘t do much Telly @TrishB but if u have Netflix watch his series Ugly Delicious/ it‘s SO GOOD!!! Really fascinating food journeys/ I think you‘ll love it!!! You too @BarbaraBB 3y

AmyG I ate once at A David Chang restaurant and will never forget it. Thanks for the Netflix rec...I need a new show! 3y

BarbaraBB Thanks! I ate at his restaurant in Toronto last year, you too?? 3y

britt_brooke We love Ugly Delicious! Prior to that, I didn‘t really know who he was. My husband is reading this now, too. Hope you enjoy! 3y

Cinfhen No @BarbaraBB we tried a vegan place that Niki recommended/ it was really good but my hubby wasn‘t impressed. He likes heartier meals 3y

Reviewsbylola I bet the food mentioned is delicious! 3y

Kalalalatja I haven‘t really read a food/chef memoir before. Is this a good one to start with? 3y

Cinfhen Are u familiar with this chef @Kalalalatja ?? I wasn‘t really, but I‘ve now watched one season of Ugly Delicious his Netflix series so now the memoir is SO MUCH more compelling. I‘ve read/listened to a few other chef/ foodie memoirs and this one is pretty good. The other one that I REALLY LOVED was this audio 👉It was AMAZING
