As others have said: Fuck Momofuku, fuck David Chang. Literally buy any other chili crunch, especially if it’s *called* chili crunch

Op if you want a really good chili oil, boon, mama teavs, sze daddy, fly by jing, and LAN gao ma of course.

Whether you hate David Chang or not, I just don’t understand why his products are so expensive. This chili crunch is two or three times the cost of any other chili crunch on the shelf and it’s not like it tastes three times better

I’m not giving David Chang a dime.

Ok outside of the whole fuck Chang thing, which I agree with, I’ve had this for months now, since before the controversy, and to this day I still can’t get the dang thing open. I’ve tried everything, hot water, stronger friends, sheer willpower, but nothing gets the fucking lid off

Took the good will he had over starting a couple of interesting restaurants, and parlayed into a never ending money grab.

I tried it once. Like Fly By Jing, it’s a good product, but extremely overpriced. The other year, I found Fly By Jing at an outlet store for $1.99 a jar, and I bought all nine jars. $1.99 for a six ounce jar is a bargain regardless of the brand.

I like the premise of his live show on Netflix but other than that, fuck Dave Chang
Use high quality ingredients, organic, pick a high quality oil like avocado, put in a fuckton of fried shallots, customize it, if you have a pepper garden throw some of those in there too
You’ll never be able to go back to overpaying for absolutely garbage (lookin at you, Lao Gan Ma with your soybean oil crap)

Their customer service is TERRIBLE. Bought like $100 of their stuff and when the soy sauce showed up broken and leaked all over everything, I got told to FO via email about replacing it.
