Why Is David Chang Angry at Starbucks?
This Famous Restaurateur Just Declared War on Starbucks
Momofuku restaurant group founder David Chang has a serious problem with Starbucks. Chang — owner of NYC hot spots Momofuku Noodle Bar, Ssäm Bar, and Má Peche — recently made a trip to the chain and noticed that two of its menu items, the new bagel bites and the Toasted Graham Latte, are strikingly similar to the Bagel Bombs and Cereal Milk Affogato at Milk Bar, Momofuku restaurant group's sister bakery founded by chef and owner Christina Tosi. He took to Twitter to express his outrage:
Are you fucking serious @Starbucks? Didn't know your R&D team only reads @milkbarstore cookbook-pick on someone else pic.twitter.com/XKrddIyO2V
