David Chang is pretty excited about the weird, robotic, fake-salmon future of food. Or at least that’s how it seems in the trailer for his upcoming show, The Next Thing You Eat. The six-episode docu-series, a collaboration with documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville is set to premiere on Hulu on October 21.
Chang came on the scene in 2004 with the opening of Momofuku Noodle Bar in New York City, where he served ramen and, and grew a culinary empire over the course of the following decade. His menus in those early years were very heavy on the meat, with Chang an evangelist for the many wonders of bacon and pork belly in all its forms. There was a ‘no substitution’ policy, so if a dish wasn’t listed as vegetarian and you didn’t eat meat, well, that was simply too bad.
Sweet… any disclosures about those companies and his involvement?
