Num Pang Cookbook

51SDR5MGaNL._SX442_BO1,204,203,200_I am an investor in Num Pang.  Learning about the fast food casual restaurant world has been a great experience.  Meeting the founders, Rather Chaupoly & Ben Daitz of Num Pang has been even better.  For whatever reason, perhaps it is the norm, but I find that in all the businesses that I am invested in that I find there is always one founder (if there are co-founders) who I end up speaking to more.  As for Num Pang it has been Ben.  A NY city born and raised street smart very savvy guy who I now call a friend.

Num Pang just put out their cookbook.  It is really good and I plan on spending a lot of time with the book this summer.  As a cookbook lover it is always worth reading the story of the authors which gives you some insight into why they do what they do.  I read it the other night and texted Ben how impressed I am with what he has built.  I am.

If you haven’t been to Num Pang, go.  There are about to be a total of 8 of them in and around NYC and coming to other cities soon.  Otherwise, buy the cookbook.

      Judy…I am leaving the city on Thursday. Alas. As for a great lunch in the West Village. Perry Street is pricey but the food is really good. High Street is the latest to the neighborhood and good too. Santina is pretty good as well. Cafe Cluny is my breakfast favorite. Joseph Leonard always has a good lunch too or Jeffrey’s Grocery.
