Born in Shanghai and raised in New Mexico, Chichi Wang took her degree in philosophy but decided that writing about food would be more fun than writing about Plato. She writes about offal and Asian cookery for Serious Eats. In her spare time, Chichi can be found tracking down the best dumplings noodles in NYC. She is currently working on her first book, a food memoir about growing up in her mother’s kitchen. Last year’s menu for W&L:
