Eddie Huang Is Back Cooking in New York — And Wants to Open a Restaurant
Chef Eddie Huang, an author, TV personality, and filmmaker who jump-started his culinary career with his Taiwanese bun shop BaoHaus in 2009, is back cooking in the neighborhood where it all started. This month, Huang is headed to the Flower Shop, a Lower East Side pub, located at 107 Eldridge Street, where he will serve a comeback modern Chinese menu through the summer. It's a test run for a restaurant that Huang hopes to open in New York, telling Eater that he is actively looking for the right space to lease. The seasonal residency, he's calling Gazebo, features a three-course dinner ($80 per person) that is 'fueled uniquely on olive oil from his wife's family field in Greece,' per a statement. The prix fixe includes dan dan noodles dressed with cherrystone clams and pancetta, lion's head meatballs, and whole-tail lobster toast with Hainan-style lobster claws over rice. It's a switch-up from Flower Shop's typical menu, a lineup of maitake rigatoni, shrimp tacos, and pan-roasted cauliflower steak. Gazebo runs from June to September, on Wednesdays to Fridays, with seatings at 7 p.m. or 9 p.m. Its inaugural night, Wednesday, June 11, is already sold out. 'I'm definitely looking for a space,' says Huang, who's condensing his current search to a 20-block radius of LES to Tribeca. But because of uncertain economic times, 'it's silly to sign a lease right now,' so he doesn't anticipate an opening until 2026. In the meantime, the pop-up marks Huang's culinary return to his all-time, 'til-I-die' neighborhood in New York. Two years after its LES debut in 2009, BaoHaus relocated to the East Village into a storefront off of Union Square, until 2020 when it closed during the early days of the pandemic (there was also briefly a BaoHaus Los Angeles, which is also now closed). Xiao Ye, another Lower East Side endeavor, also closed after a short run. In the past five years, Huang has not publicly put his name behind another New York restaurant, focusing on the entertainment world. He's officially a NY resident again, having moved back from LA with his wife and toddler this year. 'The wildfires were a sign to go home,' he says. The Hollywood industry can quickly become a complacent one, he adds. 'You get kind of sick waiting around for the phone to ring,' he says. 'Restaurants and food are the things I love. So it's nice to come back to do physical work.' Dubbed a 'dance music-influenced' menu, Gazebo refers to the Bierut-born, well-traveled singer who rose to fame during the Italo-disco music craze of the 1980s. Huang specifically pays homage to his first hit single, 'Masterpiece' — a hit in Euro-Asian dance circles — which was released the same year he was born (and one he now sings to his son every night), according to his personal Substack. Look for menu changes each month, which include the results of recent experimental dishes he's been working on at home. A quesadilla was a 'happy accident,' he says; the only way his son would eat his Iberico and clam stew is if it joined forces with his favorite food. 'So many people serve raw seafood on a plate,' says Huang, and his Peruvian-style ceviche stands out with Hokkaido scallops, Marcona almonds, and tiger's milk, which speaks to his time with Lima's legendary chef Javier Wong. There's a reason for this particular pop-up location. Flower Shop opened in 2017 with big-name money behind it: Original investors included skateboard legend Tony Hawk and William Tisch, the son of New York Giants' co-owner Steve Tisch. Huang's fresh new partnership with the Flower Shop stemmed from a meeting that his NY fashion designer friend, Maxwell Osborne, set up with its co-owner, Dylan Hales (Randolph Beer). Flower Shop, which features a lower-level bar with a pool table, jukebox, and pink fireplace, added a second location in Austin last fall. A former Cooking Channel and Vice host, Huang detailed his industry-hopping life as a lawyer to chef in a 2013 autobiography titled Fresh Off the Boat . His culinary fame that followed sparked an ABC show of the same name, which starred Randall Park and Constance Wu, and ended after six seasons in 2020. Most recently, he made Vice is Broke , a documentary on the downfall of the media company, where he formerly hosted a culinary show. Momofuku founder and fellow Northern Virginia native David Chang, who has hosted Huang on his podcast, gave the forthcoming pop-up a shout-out on Instagram last week. Sign up for our newsletter.

China's Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang) Wows Global Media with Sophisticated Digital Empowerment in Business, Life, and Beyond
HANGZHOU, China, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On June 2, the 21st China International Cartoon & Animation Festival concluded in Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang). The event showcased innovative scenarios where the animation industry merged with technology and daily services, offering a vivid glimpse into how the city elevates life through imaginative creativity and robust digital infrastructure. A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available in this link. Central to the spotlight was Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang), renowned as Zhejiang's premier hub for animation and gaming. Spanning just 72 square kilometers, this compact district has nurtured a thriving digital economy -- including a booming animation sector -- while enabling scientific innovation to go global and seamlessly integrate into local life. By building a comprehensive digital foundation, Binjiang has enhanced the sense of fulfillment and happiness of both enterprises and residents alike. Binjiang's dynamic digital economy, celebrated nationally, has now drawn praise from international media. From May 21 to 23, organized by the "International Communication Workshop for Going-global of Binjiang Enterprises", eleven journalists from nine global outlets visited Binjiang. Through 3-day on-the-ground interviews and hands-on experiences, they documented the district's surging technological momentum, the cosmopolitan charm of this modern metropolis, and the seamless blend of innovation and daily life. At NetEase, the gaming giant behind popular open-world game Where Winds Meet, overseas journalists engaged with the development team and witnessed how Chinese aesthetics leap beyond traditional boundaries through cutting-edge motion capture and map engine technologies. The game's open-world martial arts landscape -- blending historical storytelling and immersive adventure -- left visitors feeling like "chivalrous heroes in a living saga." In a recent report from the Dafeng Science and Technology Innovation Center, journalists marveled at stage technologies that fused artistic elegance with technical precision, from Spring Festival Gala spectacles to international event designs. With over 2,000 technicians and artists collaborating, the center has become a "laboratory for tech-art dialogue," turning stages into canvases for innovation. Binjiang's digital prowess extends beyond culture to manufacturing, propelling "Binjiang-made" products onto the global stage. At Be Friends, an MCN powerhouse, international journalists observed its headquarters livestreaming studio, where 300 products are showcased daily to a user base exceeding 100 million. Asia Business highlighted how Be Friends helps high-tech firms like Unitree (one of "Hangzhou's Six Little Dragons") sell humanoid robots, while AI applications, such as DeepSeek's script optimization boosting new anchors to 130 million yuan in sales within four hours, astounded journalists with Binjiang's digital economy penetration. As the report noted, although Binjiang accounts for only 0.5% of Hangzhou's land area, it contributes 13.2% of the city's GDP -- a true "economic engine." "Enterprises are seeds; the government is the soil that fosters growth," a journalist noted in a report on the national overseas talent innovation hub in Hangzhou High-Tech Zone (Binjiang). From startup incubation to investment matching, and from talent apartments to international communities, Binjiang's full-cycle innovation ecosystem is luring global entrepreneurs chasing the dream of becoming the next "Hangzhou Little Dragon." Home to digital giants like Hikvision and Dahua, Binjiang now hosts over 20,000 tech enterprises, driving breakthroughs in fields like brain-machine interfaces and humanoid robots. New Zealand returnee Song Xing, inspired by Binjiang's ecosystem, founded MindAngel Ltd., which commercialized a brainwave-controlled wheelchair. At MindAngel, journalists experienced the brain-machine interface wheelchair firsthand, marveling at controlling movement via "mind power": "Here, dreams become reality." In a three-month streak from March to May, Binjiang-headquartered Leapmotor topped China's new energy vehicle rankings, marking 2025 as a pivotal year for its global expansion. Media outlets focused on its low-cost model (65% self-developed/manufactured parts) and overseas strategies. "Binjiang's talent pool gives us the edge to build competitive teams," said Li Jiannan, Leapmotor's overseas business deputy general manager. Technology's warmth also shines in locals' everyday life. In Binfen Future Community, journalists praised the "digitized safe school route," while a journalist highlighted in a report a "diversified service ecosystem" -- intergenerational spaces blending community canteens, health centers, and smart parks, dubbed a "future lab for urban governance." At Hikvision's kindergarten, intelligent security systems paired with child-friendly design demonstrate how advanced tech safeguards the youngest residents. "Binjiang integrates innovation with community services -- a unique feature and strength of China." a journalist noted how local enterprises thrive globally while enriching residents' lives: "They love working and living here. That's truly remarkable." From animation's cultural breakthroughs to livestreaming commerce and future-focused communities, Binjiang proves how digital technology powers industries and enriches lives. As international media observed, it's not just a window into China's innovative spirit but a living testament to "technology for better living." With digital transformation driving tangible benefits, Hangzhou Binjiang is scripting the future of Digital China -- and showing the world what's possible when innovation meets humanity.
