This morning a friend tipped me off to the existence of David Chan, a restaurateur in New York City who runs LES Sushi and Wa Lung Kitchen and happens to bear a striking resemblance to another New York City restaurateur, Momofuku kingpin David Chang. It's not uncommon for Asians to have the same or similar names (I used to receive messages on Facebook meant for another NYU student named Robyn Lee; how confusing), but as my friend pointed out, "These two look alike and are both restaurateurs; thats creepy." I can't wait for them to meet so that the universe can explode. [Thanks to Mitch Weinstein, LES food czar, for the link.]

I don't think they look that much alike. David Chan is clearly Chinese.

I guess they have the same haircut?

Don't you know all us Asians look alike? I can't even tell my cousins apart. :)

I think there has been a breakdown in the space - time continuum.
