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.
