I asked myself that question as I laid the Momofuku Cookbook down and hit the sack. Did I just read a cookbook like a regular book?
Indeed I did. It was that interesting. But I didn't read it for the recipes. I read it for the story.
David Chang is pretty much as driven a chef as any other chefs are. That's me being nice and not saying how much of an asshole chefs can be. They want perfection. They'll get perfection any damn well way they want. That's okay as long as they make great food.
From reading the book and glancing at the recipes, it seems like Chang does make great, tasty food.

I am not a cook.
And the only thing that really interested me is the ramen recipe.
I don't think I saw anything else because I was reading only the histories of each of his restaurants.
Cap-
Of the three, the Bourdain book is my favorite. Simple, easy and classic French dishes.
