David Chang is the executive chef and owner of five restaurants, including Momofuku Noodle Bar, Momofuku Ssäm Bar, Momofuku Ko, Milk Bar, and Má Pêche, all in New York City and Momofuku Seiōbo in Sydney, Australia. A three-time James Beard Foundation winner, Chang has two Michelin stars and numerous accolades including GQ’s “Man of the Year.”
But it’s a devoted following that encompasses serious eaters – many of them chefs themselves – smitten critics, and celebrities that makes the restaurants phenomenally successful and the chef himself a rockstar in the culinary world. His publications include Momofuku, a cookbook, and a quarterly print journal with Peter Meehan called Lucky Peach (McSweeney’s).
Adam Savage is an industrial special effects designer, actor and co-host of The Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters. His acting resume includes early work as voices for Sesame Street characters created by his father. Savage has taught advance model making at the Academy of Art. His past City Arts & Lectures interviews include Fred Armisen, Michael Lewis and David Pogue.
