Diner: New York Chef David Chang To Open Two Momofuku Restaurants In Canada

Portrait

And neither of them are in Vancouver.

A spokesperson for Momofuku emailed The Globe and Mail Friday night to confirm that Momofuku is set to open not just one restaurant in Toronto, but two: a Noodle Bar and a second one called Momofuku Daisho. The restaurants will be in a building next to the Shangri-La Hotel, and the projected opening date is 2012.

I know I should be happy for Toronto and all, but…fuck.

  1. so have you eaten at momofuku? ate there in late jan and i enjoyed it, but the ramen here in vancouver is definitely much much better than what i had at momofuku. i want to write to david and invite him out to ramen if he ever comes to town….how noodles with great bite should taste. i’d prob take him to santouka or benkei.

Reverence, Respect, and Realization: What The Acorn Taught Me

At 21 years old, I'm still just a kid and relatively new to working in restaurants, but I grew up umbilically tied to the hospitality industry. My father was a food writer, and my mother is a photographer. Their careers meant that most of my early years were spent in kitchens and dining rooms instead of on playgrounds and soccer fields; consequently, I learned my table manners before I could count past one hundred.
