Zitat des Tages von Eddie Huang:
I've never said I was a chef - I think I make great food. I will never open a restaurant to do, like, tasting courses.
I choose to be American, I choose to live in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, I choose to have Puerto Rican/Jewish neighbors, and I choose to maintain my Chinese identity.
I don't like labels. I don't understand the need for them. When you define yourself a certain way, people have expectations.
I had no desire to be a chef, but I had a desire to be someone who was heard.
For me, juicing isn't about binging and cleansing; I try to incorporate it into a balanced diet.
I wanted to inspire people not to work under a bamboo ceiling. Whatever you are - yellow, black, white, brown - you don't have to allow your skin to define who you are or how you operate your business. There's not one face to anything.
People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that.
Sundays are for Dim Sum. While the rest of America goes to church, Sunday School, or NFL games, you can find Chinese people eating Cantonese food.
I have more to say as a writer than from behind a wok.
I like being on camera, performing, seeing what people have in common.
I blog because I have something to say.
There is a lot of food culture that goes on in the home and in the community in non-traditional ways. Food is a lot more than restaurants.
I get so disenfranchised reading the news, because global borders and lines we've created are completely unnecessary. That's just another person on the other side, and it's his bad luck that he was born there and it's my good fortune that I was born here. It's all kind of illogical.
When I feel off, I read the 'Tao Te Ching' to get my equilibrium right. I started reading it in the eleventh grade.
I'll always be Chinese first. It probably isn't politically correct to say or something that the majority understands; I can change my shoes, I can swap my passport, but, I'll always have this face.
