David Chang Quotes

I’m a big sports fan Picture Quote #1

I work so hard that I forget to take care of myself Picture Quote #1

If people think you are this amazing, own it Picture Quote #1

I really don’t care for the proper chef coat Picture Quote #1

Be careful what you wish for - getting to be a successful business and maintaining it is so hard. Anyone can be good one night; being good over several years is incredibly difficult Picture Quote #1

If people ask me, ‘What do you think could improve in Toronto dining,’ I’d say there’s nothing to improve on Picture Quote #1

I think the basic thing that home cooks can learn how to do is just season properly... If the home cook realized how little salt they use compared to what’s needed, it would make their food taste better Picture Quote #1

You can’t go into the chef’s office of any serious kitchen and not see a copy of Larousse. A must-have for professional and home cooks alike Picture Quote #1

America is a country of abundance, but our food culture is sad - based on huge portions and fast food. Let’s stop with the excuses and start creating something better Picture Quote #1

Open your refrigerator, your freezer, your kitchen cupboards, and look at the labels on your food. You’ll find ‘natural flavor’ or ‘artificial flavor’ in just about every list of ingredients. The similarities between these two broad categories are far more significant than the differences Picture Quote #1

I love the intensity of the fine-dining kitchen, but loathe the fine-dining experience Picture Quote #1

Why can’t it be awesome to work for a food company? Why can’t we create an environment where people are trying to push each other to do great things, and we’re not trying to steal from anybody - we’re trying to be good to our farmers and run an honorable business, if there is such a thing anymore? Picture Quote #1

Fear is a driving force for most of the things that I do. I don’t know if that’s healthy Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Waiting tables has never paid my bills, a fact which I prefer to hide from my colleagues with deep sighs about the price of just about everything Picture Quote #1

When I first started to cook, I would cook these elaborate meals, but I rarely cook at home now Picture Quote #1

I think that the Japanese - and I do love Japanese cuisine and adore Japanese food culture - I think that they’re going to plow through the entire world’s fishing. They’re going to eat everything anyways Picture Quote #1

People are getting famous now for serving food out of a truck, or for, well, pork buns. I don’t know if I’m really pleased to be a part of that. I’m somewhat terrified of what the future holds, especially in America Picture Quote #1

One of the benefits to ordering food in New York is that you can get food 24/7 Picture Quote #1

I hate to say ‘chain restaurant,’ but we’re sort of a corporation now. How do we defy that concept, where people assume each restaurant can’t be good? Picture Quote #1

I wanted to disprove the notion that you couldn’t open a great restaurant in a casino Picture Quote #1

Contemporary ramen is totally different than what most Americans think ramen should be. Ramen is not one thing; there are many, many different types Picture Quote #1

Lifes too short to just breeze on by Picture Quote #1

Rage or fear... It oscillates. Rage I need to motivate me to try things that I can’t ordinarily do - as I’m a lazy man. Fear - to keep pushing harder so we don’t lose what we’ve accomplished Picture Quote #1

I find that there are a lot of similarities between French and Japanese food. I think they’re two countries that have really systemized their cuisine and codified it Picture Quote #1

To eat well, I always disagree with critics who say that all restaurants should be fine dining. You can get a Michelin star if you serve the best hamburger in the world Picture Quote #1

I love chicken. I love chicken products: fried chicken, roasted chicken, chicken nuggets - whatever. And going to Japan, I would see that these chicken were smoked and then grilled and then have this amazing crispy skin Picture Quote #1

I feel like I’m losing my ability to understand reality; like when someone loses their hearing, they can still speak English, but their speech eventually becomes distorted because they can’t hear themselves Picture Quote #1

Tampopo’s amazing. I think it’s an absolutely fantastic movie, but I don’t think it captures for me the meaning of food Picture Quote #1

I think being Shaquille O’Neal would be the most amazing thing. There’s nothing I would have done differently in his life. Everything he’s done I think is pretty spot on, even, like, the bad rap videos, the shoes, the movies, everything Picture Quote #1
