Eddie Huang is the thirty-year-old proprietor of Baohaus, and one of the food world's brightest and most controversial young stars. But before he created the perfect home for himself in a small patch of downtown New York, Eddie wandered the American wilderness looking for a place to call his own. After misadventures as an unlikely lawyer, street fashion renegade, and stand-up comic, Eddie finally threw everything he loved-- past and present, family and food-- into his own restaurant, bringing together a legacy stretching back to China and the shards of global culture he'd melded into his own identity.
