“Huang is determined to tease out the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which Asian Americans give up parts of themselves in order to move forward.” —The New Yorker
Restaurateur, chef, and writer Eddie Huang‘s memoir, Fresh Off the Boat, was a rowdy and hilarious take on race and assimilation in America. It also became the first program on a major network to feature an Asian American family. For Huang, all this success raised a question: “How Chinese am I?” His quest to find the answer is at the heart of his latest memoir, Double Cup Love.
Eddie Huang is the proprietor of Baohaus, a restaurant in New York City. He’s also the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir Fresh Off the Boat (now an ABC sitcom) and the host of Huang’s World on ViceTV.
