He didn’t mince words and spoke with a no-bullsh** demeanor. While he sat back in his chair with a casual informality, his face conveyed a serious intensity about his work. Chef Chang gave me an overview of Momofuku, its menu, his love for ramen and their signature pork buns that were growing in popularity.

You’ll be working long hours for $400 a week. Can you start today?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today? I figured I’d better say yes before he changed his mind and enthusiastically agreed to get started right away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He introduced me to the various staff we encountered during a short tour of the restaurant -- dishwashers, servers, other cooks – then led me down into the basement to meet the prep cook who he was looking to replace.

He greeted me with a tired smile and later on, confided to me that he was leaving this occupation for good as he found it far too grueling. “But I’m sure you’ll do fine,” he said, with a half-hearted note of encouragement in his voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest of the night was a blur of instructions. I followed Prep around the kitchen like a crazed puppy dog, trying to memorize where everything was and what to do and what not to do. As I ran up and down the stairs from the basement to the dining room, Joaquin warned me, “Always let people know where you are,\" after I nearly crashed into another cook.

I got to work, methodically trying to produce a perfect pile of thinly sliced scallions that were used as garnish for many of their dishes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Chang came back about 10 minutes later to inspect my of handiwork – the miniscule amount that was available for him to critique -- and he admonished, “NO, NO – you’re going too slowly. Do it like THIS.” Chef Chang took the knife away from me, blazed through a pile in scallions in one smooth, tat-tat-tat gesture, then said, “Now it’s your turn.” I anxiously began hacking away at the scallions as quickly as possible, hoping it wasn’t too much of a butcher job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later on, Chef Chang assigned me my second daunting task of the night: making the “family meal” for the staff. Now the pressure was really on, as I didn’t want to screw up the one meal all of the staff would eat before embarking on their long shift. He told me there were some chicken legs, rice and some leftover ingredients I could use for the early dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I decided to braise them and set to work browning the chicken legs on the stove. As they were frying up, he’d come down periodically, glancing suspiciously over at my sluggish progress.

Prep, help her broil this chicken and get this family meal finished NOW.” We hurriedly loaded the chicken legs onto sheet pans, stuck them in the oven, then busied ourselves with getting everything else ready for the meal. (I vaguely recall it being edible and we even received a compliment or two.) Chef Chang informed his staff he’d put up a list of food critics to watch out for on the wall, so, \"PLEASE be on the lookout for these VIP’s.\" Service began shortly thereafter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the evening, after the last customer had left, the doors were shut and we had finished cleaning up the prep kitchen, I went over to talk to Chef Chang privately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to thank you for giving me a chance today, but you were absolutely right. I’m not cut out for this,” with a slight quaver in my voice. He gave me a sympathetic look, a solemn nod and shook my hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Good luck with whatever you do,” he replied. I said my goodbyes to the rest of the staff and returned home to Brooklyn, feeling demoralized and even more adrift than before. Years later, after several other attempts of working in the food industry, I left New York City, relocated to San Francisco and returned to producing stories for public media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my friends, a professional chef who spent over a decade honing his craft in many high-end New York City restaurants within the fine dining world, advised me: “Chances are you’ll be on your feet for 14+ hours a day with low pay for many years. There’s no reason to do it unless you really, really love it.” I knew that I didn’t have the kind of commitment, drive or talent it takes to survive in the business; my unrealistic, overly romanticized notions of food and paltry amateur skills weren’t going to translate into a successful career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been great watching Chef David Chang’s star rise over time as his \u003ca href=\"http://momofuku.com/\" target=\"_blank\">burgeoning empire\u003c/a> (and sometimes, even his \u003ca href=\"http://www.chow.com/food-news/8322/san-francisco-to-david-chang-go-momofuku-yourself/\" target=\"_blank\">notoriety\u003c/a>) continues to expand internationally. I’ve got his Momofuku cookbook and several issues of \u003ca href=\"http://lky.ph/\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky Peach\u003c/a> on my bookshelf and consider myself honored that I was able to spend one night in his kitchen, toiling away over a box of scallions.

Chef Chang informed his staff he’d put up a list of food critics to watch out for on the wall, so, \"PLEASE be on the lookout for these VIP’s.\" Service began shortly thereafter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the evening, after the last customer had left, the doors were shut and we had finished cleaning up the prep kitchen, I went over to talk to Chef Chang privately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to thank you for giving me a chance today, but you were absolutely right. I’m not cut out for this,” with a slight quaver in my voice. He gave me a sympathetic look, a solemn nod and shook my hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Good luck with whatever you do,” he replied. I said my goodbyes to the rest of the staff and returned home to Brooklyn, feeling demoralized and even more adrift than before. Years later, after several other attempts of working in the food industry, I left New York City, relocated to San Francisco and returned to producing stories for public media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my friends, a professional chef who spent over a decade honing his craft in many high-end New York City restaurants within the fine dining world, advised me: “Chances are you’ll be on your feet for 14+ hours a day with low pay for many years. There’s no reason to do it unless you really, really love it.” I knew that I didn’t have the kind of commitment, drive or talent it takes to survive in the business; my unrealistic, overly romanticized notions of food and paltry amateur skills weren’t going to translate into a successful career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been great watching Chef David Chang’s star rise over time as his \u003ca href=\"http://momofuku.com/\" target=\"_blank\">burgeoning empire\u003c/a> (and sometimes, even his \u003ca href=\"http://www.chow.com/food-news/8322/san-francisco-to-david-chang-go-momofuku-yourself/\" target=\"_blank\">notoriety\u003c/a>) continues to expand internationally. I’ve got his Momofuku cookbook and several issues of \u003ca href=\"http://lky.ph/\" target=\"_blank\">Lucky Peach\u003c/a> on my bookshelf and consider myself honored that I was able to spend one night in his kitchen, toiling away over a box of scallions.

By that time, the Italian artist had been painting for the emperor and his powerful Habsburg family for more than 25 years, so presumably, they'd grown used to his visual jokes. (The emperor has \"peachy\" cheeks and \"ears\" of corn, get it?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he also dabbled in the angels and saints that were the standard stuff of art in his day, Arcimboldo is best known for his \"scherzi\" or \"capricci\" — \"meaning jokes or games,\" as David Brown, a curator at the National Gallery of Art, explains in \u003ca href=\"http://www.smithsonianmag.com/multimedia/videos/Arcimboldo-More-Than-Meets-the-Eye.html\">this video\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003cscript src=\"http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?video_pcode=VmM2U6ccX_RqI0rIzEgAxHoRsgRL&width=512&deepLinkEmbedCode=03eDd3MTq7IDOMlsJPcgxoQ25YS10ChJ&height=288&embedCode=03eDd3MTq7IDOMlsJPcgxoQ25YS10ChJ\">\u003c/script>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"It's very clear that's how they were meant to be seen,\" Brown says. \"They were a source of amusement or entertainment, because there was this element of surprise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That they also often feature an element of fruits, berries or other foods is partly a reflection of the Renaissance blossoming of natural sciences, like botany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At a distance, they just look like heads in profile or three-quarter view,\" Brown says. \"Up close, they look like an incredible variety of nature's wonders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That talent for upending the viewer's expectations helps explain why Arcimboldo — whose work, Brown says, fell into \"virtual oblivion\" after his death — found new champions among 20th-century modernists. (Picasso and Salvador Dali were among his fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest to pay homage to this Renaissance man is American Philip Haas, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker (for\u003cem> Angels and Insects\u003c/em>) and contemporary artist. This weekend, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nybg.org/\">New York Botanical Garden\u003c/a> opened a new exhibit featuring Haas' giant, 15-foot-high fiberglass sculptures based on Arcimboldo's \"Four Seasons\" — winter, spring, summer and fall personified as people, crafted of foods, trees and other natural elements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62200\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 632px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/foodart2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/foodart2.jpg\" alt=\"Winter, on display in downtown Milan, Italy, in 2011.

By that time, the Italian artist had been painting for the emperor and his powerful Habsburg family for more than 25 years, so presumably, they'd grown used to his visual jokes. (The emperor has \"peachy\" cheeks and \"ears\" of corn, get it?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though he also dabbled in the angels and saints that were the standard stuff of art in his day, Arcimboldo is best known for his \"scherzi\" or \"capricci\" — \"meaning jokes or games,\" as David Brown, a curator at the National Gallery of Art, explains in \u003ca href=\"http://www.smithsonianmag.com/multimedia/videos/Arcimboldo-More-Than-Meets-the-Eye.html\">this video\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003cscript src=\"http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?video_pcode=VmM2U6ccX_RqI0rIzEgAxHoRsgRL&width=512&deepLinkEmbedCode=03eDd3MTq7IDOMlsJPcgxoQ25YS10ChJ&height=288&embedCode=03eDd3MTq7IDOMlsJPcgxoQ25YS10ChJ\">\u003c/script>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\"It's very clear that's how they were meant to be seen,\" Brown says. \"They were a source of amusement or entertainment, because there was this element of surprise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That they also often feature an element of fruits, berries or other foods is partly a reflection of the Renaissance blossoming of natural sciences, like botany.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At a distance, they just look like heads in profile or three-quarter view,\" Brown says. \"Up close, they look like an incredible variety of nature's wonders.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That talent for upending the viewer's expectations helps explain why Arcimboldo — whose work, Brown says, fell into \"virtual oblivion\" after his death — found new champions among 20th-century modernists. (Picasso and Salvador Dali were among his fans).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest to pay homage to this Renaissance man is American Philip Haas, an Oscar-nominated filmmaker (for\u003cem> Angels and Insects\u003c/em>) and contemporary artist.
