David Chang: Alan Richman's Ramen Dream Date
Restaurant critic Alan Richman managed to drag David Chang to Ippudo to opine on its ramen.
Chang didn't take the bait (he doesn't consider himself the ramen king of New York, and he said he liked the ramen at Ippudo), but there are some amusing exchanges between the two. Both Richman and Chang recognized the quality of the broth and the noodles, but Richman didn't think much of the pork slices. I actually thought they were terrific.
