"What Does Pim Have Against David Chang?"


• I used to follow Pim's blog but I felt her smugness and superiority (complex) emanating from her posts so I no longer read (or care) what she's currently raving or ranting about.

Posted by Travels with a Gourmet on 10/19/2009 at 07:44:13

• I always got that impression of Pim from her blog. While she's got a lot of useful information (eg. her fabulous pad thai recipe), her haughty tone didn't sit well with me. She seems incredibly small-minded and has an elitist attitude. And her amazon book reviews haven't been favorable for the most part.

• ooooh gossip! love it.

Posted by danny on 10/20/2009 at 12:45:17

• I don't know any of the people involved. But if events and the behaviors of this Pim related in your blog are accurate, it sounds like what you'd expect of a personality-disordered person. Borderline personality disorder? Narcissistic Personality Disorder? A nasty comorbidity? I couldn't say. But it all sounds VERY cluster B. Yeeech.

• Who is this chick that we should care? I can see how people get rubbed the wrong way by Chang, but he's the real deal. I googled this chick and I still can't figure out what credentials she has. Chang is the real deal.

• If Kinch knows what's good for him, he would dump her. It's just a matter of time.

• the story, told on this blog, is wonderfully written. I's to bad that it is a reality. With the blood, sweat and tears that are this business

Posted by maryann on 10/20/2009 at 18:40:19

• It sounds like you're creating problems yourself by trying to solve this issue instead of looking at why their is a problem in the first place.

• If that's a wall of visiting chef photos, what's Sifton's photo doing up there?

Posted by Lishka on 10/20/2009 at 19:53:44

• All sounds very high school to me, including the blow by blow in this article.

Posted by mia on 10/20/2009 at 21:31:19

• You really showed that Pim!

Posted by Olympia on 10/22/2009 at 20:25:44

• Have you seen her book? It's a stupid concept and a worse book. She also charges WAY too much for jam and marmalade on etsy.

Posted by Michelle on 10/25/2009 at 19:58:20

• And I thought only chefs got to act like prima donnas!

Posted by Daniel on 10/27/2009 at 17:57:05

• i stopped reading her blog a couple years ago due to her very faux nice tones but thought hey, lots of people like her, good for her. And left it at that. Then I saw her on Iron Chef America, her voice.... I don't know how David deals with that sound, love is blind AND deaf apparently.

Posted by rachel on 11/08/2009 at 00:22:03

• Fun story, but who cares what she has against David Chang? She's a nobody.

Posted by Alvin on 11/18/2009 at 23:38:41

• If this is true, it is totally sad. David (I believe it was in his updates of his book tour in San Francisco) openly reveres Daniel Patterson. He even recently ate at Coi. For her to go behind David's back and do that is totally pathetic.

Posted by M on 11/24/2009 at 07:31:48

• juvenile!

Posted by eater in sf on 11/26/2009 at 21:27:21

• Seems her raging foul mouth is giving away that she is not as sweet as she pretends to be.
