Huang was born in 1982 in Washington, D.C. to immigrant parents from Taiwan. He was raised in Orlando, Florida, where his father managed a successful group of steak and seafood restaurants. Huang identified with African-American culture, especially hip-hop, at a young age. He attended The University of Pittsburgh, Rollins College and graduated with a B.A. He earned a J.D. from Cardozo School of Law.
Not long after graduating from law school, Huang decided for a career change. After being laid off from a New York law firm, Huang worked as a stand-up comic and as a marijuana dealer.
In December 2009, he opened BaoHaus, a Taiwanese bun shop, on the Lower East Side of New York. His straightforward menu consists of pillowy steamed buns filled with a flavorful protein of choice, cilantro, crushed peanuts and Taiwanese red sugar, and sweet bao fries.
He hosted Cheap Bites on the Cooking Channel the end of 2011 and also appeared on several episodes of Unique Eats before leaving the Cooking Channel for Vice where he hosts a recurring segment, also called "Fresh Off the Boat". Also in 2012, Huang was named a 2013 TED Fellow. In 2011 he made the Chow 13 and was voted one of the 101 People You Must Meet in 2011 by Town and County Magazine.
I played that Dave Chappelle skit "When Keeping IT Real Goes Wrong" and talked about how close I got to that moment. Surprisingly, as soon as I opened up about it, everyone had a story about white people talkin' out the side of they mouths at work. We all laughed about it and realized we'll never teach them all at one time, but we had to be patient, bite our tongues, and talk amongst ourselves when shit got bad. My white and Jewish homies always come and supported the events,too, because they understood their own duality. That's what I loved about New York: even white people hated white people. No one wanted the stereotype of an ignorant white dude to represent them and white people policed themselves. (查看原文)
I walked up to Jeff's room -- they called it a loft because it was upstairs and had a low ceiling; I couldn't believe my eyes. Everywhere you walked: toys, games, huge television, stuffed animals, it was like living in a Toys 'R' Us. I remeber thinking to myself that if I died, I wanted to come back a white man. These fuckers had EVERYTHING. I didn't know what to play first, I was so confused. I literally rolled around in video games, read the instructions, looked at all the GamePro magazines, and then went to bathroom and wiped my ass with their fancy toilet paper just to see how it felt. When you washed your hands, they had hand towels so you didn't have to wipe your face with the towel your brother wiped his balls with ten minutes ago. For real, if you are a broke-ass kid, you are wipin... (查看原文)
Just to be honest, based on the title, it’s a zero star book. I wouldn’t pick a book called ‘fresh off the boat’ simply because 1. The title is overwhelmingly racist. 2. Asian literature is nothing but Asian stereotype, I’d prefer Asian writer to writ...

Talking about things I don't like: too much cursing; how he plays the ball around the edges of what's legal/ right and walk away from it; how he brushes off stupid things he's done in the past as good stories and not drawing lessons from them; how he prese...

Good to hear another Chinese voice in the American wild, though there are some differences between the author's and my experiences. But there are similarities, too. The author was teased and bullied in school, like I was, and the school/teachers were no he...
