We’ve been working on the @momofuku COVID-19 safety protocol for 4 months. It’s by no means perfect, nor a solution for all restaurants If possible I think it’s important we all start to work off the same page, to start a dialogue to help each other out

My dad passed away today from cancer. He immigrated to America from Korea in 1963. Joe Chang lived a full life and sacrificed so much for his family. He leaves behind his wife of over 50 years, 4 kids and 5 grandchildren. Rest In Peace dad. I’m glad you got to see Hugo’s 돌 ❤️
