Hot On The Burner: Who Runs the World? Roy Choi

In our new series Hot On the Burner, we analyze which restaurants and chefs are having their best week ever in the press — and who’s getting burned, and hard. This week, it’s raining Roy Choi, and hard.

Hot On the Burner: Roy Choi

A new CNN show, Street Food, means the Kogi King will be invading your home, even for those of you outside of LA. So the world naturally rejoiced.

Hot On the Burner: David Chang

A close second to Choi this weekend, Chang announced plans for a D.C. Momofuku and Milk Bar and made every yuppie politico in Washington pee themselves.

And then we found out that he likes pedicures, too, so, winning all around.

How to bounce back when Pete Wells skewers your restaurant?

Flaming Out: David Burke

A new lawsuit prompted by a former employee alleges Burke discriminated against Muslim workers. No bueno.

Flaming Out: Gordon Ramsay

Rumors continue to follow him that the chef is broke as a joke and in debt after being sued once again.

On the plus side, he’s got those abs, so.
