David Chang - Momofuku Restaurateur

davidcheng070122_198.jpg

Celebrated restaurateur David Chang is the man behind the Momofuku empire. From noodles to Top Chef to drinking with Anthony Bourdain..... and if your luck Mr. Chang will give us a stern lecture on why not to overcook your quail eggs!

The man with his pulse on the Bay Area job scene Andrew Gardiner from BAjobs.com is back.

In our Heffernan Insurance non-profit minute we feature: The San Francisco Sheriff's Department Five Keys Charter Schools.

Sales expert Chip Doyle makes a compelling case that you do not need to know anything about the product you're selling (believe it)!

Our coach from CTI with tips on whether or not to help out a boss in need.

Need some time off? Employment Dennis Strazulo explains FMLA (The Family and Medical Leave Act).In the J.O.B. Nuggets: Why that customer service rep was rude to you, NBA loud mouth Mark Cuban with tips for start-ups (don't get swag) and top disgusting things your co-workers do (think B.O.).

David Chang Transcription provided by Lindsay and Tim Harrison:

 LO: So, I think you’re interesting because you come off as sort of a normal dude who just likes food, but you’re not. You went to theFrenchCulinaryAcademy. You’re a highly successful restaurateur.  So here’s the question, how do you keep the buzz about your food so you get people coming in the door, but also keep it normal so aJoeBlowlike me isn’t intimidated to want to go to Momofuku?

David Chang:  Well, I think at the end of the day we like to reverse engineer the process. Right? We want the expectations of people to be exceeded when they leave the door. And we want people talking about that’s an amazing meal, whether at any of our restaurants. It’s just a matter of how do we get to that point. So once you know that’s the goal, certain things become superfluous, and you can fly directly at the goals.
