Whether or not people were willing to listen, Eddie Huang always had a story to tell. The Floridian-turned-New Yorker has been fortunate to have a bevy of platforms to articulate his thoughts and opinions, and whether it’s through his ViceLand television show Huang’s World, his book Fresh Off The Boat, or for his East Village eatery BaoHaus, it’s obvious that his immutable passion and obsession with detail are what drive him forward. Those who knew of Eddie’s hustle before all the success remember him being just like any other hungry New Yorker looking for his own path, and now that he’s found it, he’s inspiring a new generation of individuals who can only be described as enthusiasts of food, hip-hop, travel, sneakers, and generally not giving a damn.
