David Chang is known for Momofuku and for hosting and presenting culinary programs. He opened Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York’s East Village in 2004, and Momofuku Ko earned two Michelin stars in 2009 before closing in 2023. Chang was born to Korean parents, raised in Virginia, and trained at Café Boulud in New York after working at a Japanese soba shop in Tokyo. Momofuku expanded across the United States and internationally, including Sydney. He continues television work, launched a magazine, and opened Super Peach in Los Angeles. He reports the new restaurant is going well, while noting that restaurant ownership is harder now than ever due to industry challenges.
"“It’s going really well,” he tells me, no mean feat given the well-documented challenges facing the restaurant industry around the world at the moment. “But then, opening a restaurant has never been easy. As a diner, eating out is probably better than ever, but as a restaurant owner, I think it’s never been more difficult.”"
"Chang opened the Momofuku noodle bar in New York's East Village back in 2004; his Momofuku brand grew stratospherically, and Momofuku Ko garnered two Michelin stars in 2009 and kept them until it closed in 2023. Chang was born to Korean parents, raised in Virginia and trained at New York's Café Boulud under Alex Lee after working at a Japanese Soba shop in Tokyo."
"Momofuku has spread like wildfire - there are now outlets across the United States and as far afield as Sydney, Australia. He continues to glitter on the small screen (he has hosted Dinner Time Live with David Chang since 2024), launched his own magazine, and, most recently, opened Super Peach in Los Angeles."
"With floor-to-ceiling orange and green interiors, Super Peach is described as “American Classics reimagined"
