David Chang writes in his memoir about what it cost to build Momofuku, and he does so with a candor that makes the book hard to put down and, at times, uncomfortable to read. Bipolar disorder, rage, and a striking ambivalence toward the very success he built with his own hands. He's also unflinching about how he behaved as a boss. The restaurant industry has a real mental health problem, and this is the most honest book on the subject to reach a wide audience. The book contains no recipes at all, it's more of a reflection and a glimpse into the restaurant industry a generation on from Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. Written with Gabe Ulla.
