The first episode of chef Tom Colicchio's YouTube web series Hooked Up has premiered. In the series, Colicchio takes friends out fishing in Montauk, and this time around, he's brought along culinary troublemaker/memoirist Eddie Huang to catch some sharks and talk about life and food. Says Huang as he's being driven to the docks early in the morning, "I'm such a pothead that I usually don't wake up until 11 AM." Some may remember, though, that Huang took his mom out fishing in his Cooking Channel special Cheap Bites. Below, Huang talks David Chang ("We do not get along"), how he got his start, how he got into hip-hop, and why he openly criticized Marcus Samuelsson.
