Style Strategies
Eddie Huang, Author & Restaurateur
Eddie Huang is first and foremost, a food god: A restaurateur and chef at heart, he's also a best-selling author, a filmmaker and beloved media personality. He’s been running at a sprint since he opened Baohaus on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 2009. The cult Taiwanese bun shop became shorthand for a certain kind of cool New York eating until the pandemic closed that chapter. But Huang didn’t stop: two books, a film and a marriage later, Huang has a growing family, a popular Substack and a podcast with his wife Natashia Perrotti. Oh, and there’s the executive-chef residency at the Flower Shop, plus Baohaus is back open.
The guy always has a lot on his plate and next week, his third book (and first novel) titled Come Undone, will drop. Of course, he’s currently rooting on his beloved New York Knicks in the NBA finals, too. I wanted to know more about what he’s into at the moment, so I subjected him to Valet.’s Style Strategies interrogation. And the man had opinions. Turns out the same restless intelligence he brings to food and storytelling applies equally to shopping and style.

What’s the item that was the most difficult to pull the trigger on? My wife's JPG Shoulder Birkin. I found the exact one she'd been hinting at for months. I love gifting my wife, really spending time finding the right thing—no matter the price, almost. Prioritizing her and putting in some effort to show her that I listen and I choose her.
Do you shop more online or in person? In person. Always. Look, I got too much ass to be shopping online. What city has the best shopping these days? It's kind of always Tokyo right?
What’s one shopping tip or hack that you can let everyone know about? Loyalty. Plain and simple. If you are loyal to stores, they'll always take care of you. |
