"We weren't Americans like everyone else. We'd always be the other in this bull**** country." Memoir by Eddie Huang, who runs the restaurant Baohaus (Get it?). I'm a fan of the show that's based on his book, but there are quite a few differences. Huang's book is rougher and rawer than the show. His parents were verbally and emotionally abusive, he got kicked out of school multiple times, was frequently in trouble, got into fights, and was even arrested. The book could've used some judicious editing and his voice, which employs a vulgar, hip-hop vernacular, can get a little offputting. Still, if you like the show, check it out. Also, representation matters. https://www.baohausnyc.com/
