David Chang's lecture at the MAD symposium this year focused on MSG, umami, and the "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome." "There's a group of diners that tends to not eat Asian food," Chang says. "So I'm not saying anyone's wrong here, I'm attaching this to American culture, there seems to be this urban myth that 'I can't eat Asian food because it's going to make me feel bad.'" [~EN~]
