My Take
Eddie Huang fascinates me precisely because he refuses to stay in one lane. Lawyer, chef, restaurateur with BaoHaus, author, filmmaker, television host, he treats identity itself as something to be remixed. I respect people who turn their unruliness into a body of work, and Huang does exactly that, using food as a lens on culture, race, and belonging. His whole career is an argument against the tidy career path. He can be abrasive, but that edge is the point; it keeps his perspective honest. I am always curious what this Washington-born provocateur will do next.
