It's hard to keep up with Dave Chang.

Momofuku, Chang's company, now owns 10 sit-down restaurants in three countries and is a part owner of Christina Tosi's 14 dessert and bakery restaurants, Milk Bar, as well as the seven locations or concessions of Fuku, a chain of quick-service chicken counters.

He also produces and stars in the Netflix show "Ugly Delicious," which has been renewed for a second season, is working on a new media company with former Wired editor-in-chief Scott Dadich, and has a weekly podcast.

This year he's opening restaurants in Las Vegas, New York and West Hollywood. He also just became a father.
