“My dad was in the restaurant business, but I didn't really think about...” — David Chang Quote

My dad was in the restaurant business, but I didn't really think about following him. Had I done better at school, I don't know if I would have been a chef.

There are many things to admire about Japan but this is the one thing I love the most and probably the only time I eat breakfast. Fish, eggs, soup, salad, veggies; all in the tiniest bites. It's a full meal, but it's so refreshing.

'Tampopo's amazing. I think it's an absolutely fantastic movie, but I don't think it captures for me the meaning of food.

If people ask me, 'What do you think could improve in Toronto dining,' I'd say there's nothing to improve on.

Before I had my own restaurant, I was never top dog in the kitchen. I've always had a low opinion of myself as a cook.

I didn't harbor a huge desire to become a chef until I graduated from college.

The opportunity to be a star chef, to imagine it would be here in Las Vegas, I couldn't comprehend it.

When I'm in L.A., I go to Spago because the chef is a friend of mine.

I think the goal of 'Chef's Table' is that you are so moved by the story that you want to go and eat that person's food at their restaurant. But I wanted the takeaway from my show to be that you go and cook the thing.

I was lucky enough to marry a wonderful chef.
