Don’t even think about ditching your legal career–unless you know you’ll be supersuccessful in your dream pursuit. Because if you’re not, your mom–especially if she’s (forgive the stereotype) Asian–will come after you. And she’ll probably be reminding you of that Big Mistake for the rest of your life.

That’s what Eddie Huang, a former Chadbourne & Parke associate turned hip-hop chef, has been experiencing since The New York Times gave his too-cool restaurant XiaoYe a mediocre review. Reviewer Sam Sifton calls the Taiwanese eatery, “an artful misfire: the sort of place that . . . is really only best when the customers are a little drunk, a little high, maybe both, and in any event extremely hungry.” (Check out Salon.com for Huang’s defiant reaction to the review.)
