happy early birthday to me ... love david chang

i turn 27 in a week and a half and i just received my 1st present in the mail today, and i have a sneaking suspicion that the amazon.com box came via 2nd ave in new york city (the abode of my older brother). il just let you all know that he has set the bar and i really dont think anything will top this - that being said please i still will entertain all presents offered and fain excitement if it doesnt surpass what i have in my hands right now.

so whats in the box? well only the latest and greatest thing to come from david chang, my (and the rest of new york citys) favorite chef ... momofuku the cook book. i am giddy with anticipation to dive into this textbook sized and strength nonfictional glimpse into the world of the coolest chef around and his mini downtown new york city food empire.

the book is co-authored by peter meehan who is like the david chang of newspapers. he is understated but knows his shit just as well as anyone else. oh and hes really young and is all over the new york times. from just thumbing through these pages and watching this video (embedded below as well) i am know that i am going to be thrust into the world of the lucky peach and i am going to love every last picture, word, and bite that this book has to offer!
