On this episode of VICE's 'Autobiographies, ' we sit down with restauranteur Wilson Tang to talk about his passion for Chinese American food. After escaping the second World Trade Center tower that was hit on September 11, Tang left his corporate finance job to run his uncle's historic dim sum restaurant against his parents' wishes. From there, Tang opened up a new modern Chinese restaurant that incorporates the hidden culinary gems of New York's Chinatown

I can relate to this a lot. My dad grew up in the chinese restaurant business and he got other jobs but later on in life he wanted to open up his own food truck. Maybe being raised in that environment gives you that connection to your culture and food that made you happy growing up even if your parents want better for you.

this is a great history lesson and my wife and i just had some yesterday, not there, yet dim sum for lunch. wish we could have gone there. YUM someone fire up the learjet and we're there. from Reno Nevada to Nom Wah's in 1 hour or so.

Wow. The food, the culture, and their history. Just wow. I hope that the Nom Wah dim sum and tea parlor is going to be a Chinatown institution.
EDIT: the fact that his parents are proud of him touches me. That's fulfilling.

Love this guys story, you can tell how 9/11 still lives with him and just now loves to work at his restaurants showing his culture to the world. Hopefully one day I could eat at one of his businesses.

Old school. Love it. I grew up in a Chinese restaurant in Columbus Ohio from 5th grade til my highest school graduation. Did not want to pursue that profession! Kudos to you! Continued success!

it's either God's gift or just the biggest luck in his life that led him to go down those stairs and walked to Chinatown and saved his life from the 9/11 tragedy. cheers mate now u thriving!

He looks so well aged especially for all that he s gone through. Low key thought he was in his 20s and then he told us about 9/11 and so on.
reply

It is hard to believe that he was a working professional during 9/11. He must be at least 40 then and looks half his age.
