02.06: Eddie Huang
2013-01-15 00:37:52| Powells Books Events Calendar
Eddie Huang was born in the American South to FOB ("fresh off the boat") Taiwanese parents. While his father improbably launched a chain of steakhouses, Eddie burned his way through American culture, defying every "model minority" stereotype along the way. After misadventures as an unlikely lawyer, street fashion designer, and stand-up comic, Eddie finally threw everything he loved — his past, his present, his family, and food — into his own restaurant, BaoHaus, the superhot East Village hangout that has made him into one of this generation's biggest food stars. Funny, raw, moving, and told in an irrepressibly alive and original voice, Fresh off the Boat (Spiegel & Grau) recasts the immigrant's story for the 21st century.
