"With humor, pathos and heaping spoonsful of self-deprecation . . . Eat a Peach is an honest, ugly, raw dish of a book."--The Wall Street Journal
"An honest and vulnerable autobiography that will have you
laughing and crying at the same time . . . an absolute
must-read."--CNN "David Chang is one of the most beloved
chefs on earth, but his inspiring memoir is not just for foodies.
He's one of the most audaciously openhearted and honest humans
you'll ever find. This book is for anyone who has ever felt like an
underdog or an underachiever--or aspires to become an entrepreneur
or a more decent person."--Adam Grant, New York Times
bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take,
and host of the TED podcast WorkLife "Eat a Peach is not
merely an autobiography of a great creative; rather, it's a
compelling philosophy of a man who believes in a beautiful life
beyond reach. It is profoundly gratifying to witness Chang marching
uphill, step by step, toward his sublime vision. As Chang suffers,
rages, and fights for his quest, we can't help but admire his
vulnerability, courage, and conviction."--Min Jin Lee, author of
Free Food for Millionaires and Pachinko, a finalist
for the National Book Award
"Ever since I slurped my first Momofuku ramen bowl, I knew David
Chang was a special chef. Now, with this soulful memoir, David has
added another feather to his cap: brilliant writer. David is a
personal hero--funny, wise, humble, and self-aware. With Eat a
Peach, he puts words to so many of the things we all feel,
sharing generously of his own journey, so we can all benefit in the
process."--Chrissy Teigen, New York Times bestselling
author of Cravings "Dave Chang's writing is honest and
vulnerable. As a child of immigrants, the DNA of his story spoke to
me. Now I just have to keep up with his drive and
tenacity!"--Hasan Minhaj, host of Patriot Act with Hasan
Minhaj "If you're looking for a cookbook, this is a terrible
choice. Herein you will find the recipe for one of our brightest,
most energetic, talented, and inspiring Americans (who also happens
to be a chef). David Chang is a great storyteller with a great
story to tell."--Jimmy Kimmel, host of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
"This is one of the most compelling chef memoirs in recent memory.
. . . Chang's writing is engaging and his story is stirring,
humorous, and compulsively readable."--Shondaland "Just like
the food from his famed Momofuku restaurants is must-devour,
Chang's memoir is a must-read."--E! News "David Chang is one of the
world's most creative chefs, but it wasn't obvious he would become
that. I was absolutely enthralled by his underdog story, which he
tells with passion, humor, and skill. Don't miss this incredible
memoir!"--Brian Grazer, New York Times bestselling author
of A Curious Mind and cofounder of Imagine
Entertainment
"An entertaining, admirably candid self-assessment of life in the
foodie fast lane."--Kirkus Reviews "Foodies and chefs alike will
dig into Chang's searing memoir."--Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
