I noticed one of the photo captions in the article. It was suffixed with the following phrase:
"David Chang wears a Michael Kors sweater; Levi’s jeans; Satellite Wave watch by Citizen."
I would expect such a caption more from a fashion magazine than from a publication like WIRED. Is that a WIRED policy to treat its article subjects as fashion celebrities or was that just something added by a Photo editor/agency?
Fantastic article in every other way though.
- coldpie 10y agoI agree it's a little unusual, but I don't see how it detracts from the article in any way.
- gjkood 10y agoIt absolutely doesn't detract from the article in any objective way. It's just a pet peeve and probably misplaced considering David Chang is also a TV celebrity in addition to a masterful Chef.
- faitswulff 10y agoI see it as a statement about Chang himself. As stated in another comment, Chang is both pretentious and not at the same time, and as paradoxical as his theory on flavor. This is reflected in his fashion, as well.
- dethswatch 10y agoWired has [gotten very much away from its roots](https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wired-rashida04.jpg?w=300&h=450&crop=1 https://pmcwwd.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/wired-rashida04.j...). I believe they're pursuing a 'lifestyles' focus and it's really gone downhill.
- hinkley 10y agoI believe my reaction went something like, "that's great. Who gives a shit?" but then I did get up on the wrong side of the bed today.
