How Chef Eric Sze Is Changing the Game for Taiwanese Food in NYC Eater New Guard

Chef Eric Sze of Taiwanese restaurant 886 is a member of the 2021 Eater New Guard, honoring the most talented changemakers in restaurants, and those using food to challenge conventions, remake old systems, and better their communities. Here we see him meld traditional Taiwanese dishes with his ideas for what New Yorkers want to eat now Lucarus100: I disagree that there's a handful of Taiwanese restaurants in NYC when there is three Chinatown and some scattered throughout the 5 boroughs. In Manhattan, near 886 is Ho Foods, a Taiwanese noodle shop. If you want soup dumplings, across the street there's a place called The Bao. I do appreciate him supporting Chinese businesses in Chinatown and I do love how he sources his ingredients from there which makes it uniquely different than other restaurants.

Love the attitude. And honestly I think we're missing out on some really great dishes if people from other cultures, be it Indian, Taiwanese, African, Persian, or whatever, follow the precedents set by chefs from their culture who came before. Just because hasn't been done before, doesn't mean it won't be successful. That said though, it's kind of the attitude that any chef designing a menu not based on someone else's desires (i. e. owner/business partner/etc) would have anyway.

I grew up with blood sausage in a Polish household and I have tried lots of different kinds from different cultures. All of them have the same problem. The first few bites are fine and then iron in the blood really becomes too much for me to handle.

That is a healthy and nice looking chicken. I usually buy mine from france no GMO, no antibiotics, additives, free range and you can see how healthy the bird is by the fat in the skin, it should be yellow. Then you know it's going to taste great.

I really love that last point he makes - diluting elements of food culture to cater to a wider audience vs transmitting and sharing something personal and meaningful. Clearly he s made the right choice. Can t wait to try everything he makes.

Dude categorize your cooking however you'd like, but there's no need to attach the severely twisted meaning of a word in an attempt to lend your cooking credibility because clearly is awesome.

Yo! This! 100 percent this i got to travel alot when I was younger I care more about what you enjoy cooking then anything else I love when I can truly experience new things more so then what I should expect for groups of people

I m Taiwanese and generally the food I prefer eating in Taiwan is Chinese food. Because Taiwanese generally have a more sweet based palette. All the stuff he made here is ok but nothing I d actually go out my way to buy.

I'd buy food from this guy, he's making it his way whether you like it or not. I dig that.
Would run my restaurant/eatery the exact same way - dishes I grew up with, what I like, you don't like it? Hit the road.

Best of luck on the new place! Beautiful food. even if a person might not care for everything on the menu, appreciate the story behind it. Try it. and if you don't like it spit it out. politely.
