Eddie Huang’s first novel, 'Come Undone,' was released in bookstores this week. The fiction debut follows two characters struggling with relationships. Huang, known for his work as a chef and television personality, completed the book while managing several projects in New York.
This spring, Huang reopened Baohaus on St. Marks Place. The restaurant quickly drew crowds, especially during the Knicks playoff run, when fans gathered after games. The shop has been open late, catering to summer foot traffic and postgame celebrations.
Huang also hosts a podcast, Canal Street Dreams, and maintains a Substack newsletter focused on food and city life. He has spoken about using these platforms to connect with younger New Yorkers and share stories beyond the kitchen.
With 'Come Undone' now available, Huang is appearing at several city bookstores for readings and signings in the coming weeks. Staff at Baohaus said they have seen a mix of regulars and new customers, some with copies of the book in hand. On Thursday night, a line formed on St. Marks as the Knicks played an away game, with diners discussing both basketball and the novel.
