*A GQ interview with David Chang where he talks about plans to expand to Sydney and Toronto in 2012.
I was there last year and just fell in love with Australia—holy shit, the produce, the proteins, the fish. This place is insane. Why wouldn’t you want to open a restaurant out here? We’re going to try to use only Australian ingredients, with the exception of some fermented products from Japan and some wines from France.
Since my brain really only works in the morning, I try to keep that time free for writing and thinking and don’t read any media at all until lunchtime, when I treat myself to The New York Times–the paper edition. At this point, I realize, I am almost a full 24 hours behind the news cycle. Is this is a problem? I have no idea. My brother, who is a teacher, always says that we place too much emphasis on the speed of knowledge acquistion, and not the quality of knowledge acquistion: I guess that means that the fact that I am still on Monday, when everyone else is on Tuesday, is okay.

I guess Malcolm Gladwell is a tortoise rather than a hare. So if one’s magazines start piling up, what should one do? An government is overturned. Or a Royal Wedding has taken place. Or a tsunami has been cleaned up after. Is there still a point to read the articles from prior to the events? It seems to me that I am more interested in what is happening now than what is already history – but it is a shame to throw away a good magazine that is unread or only partly read.
