Born to Taiwanese parents in the American South, Eddie Huang set out to defy the “model minority” stereotype. Huang experimented through careers as a lawyer, fashion designer and stand-up comic before embracing his family, past and food, and creating the New York restaurant that made him famous, BaoHaus. His new memoir, Fresh off the Boat, is a new twist on the immigrant’s story.
