You could excuse us for our gullibility for a minute in thinking Huang Way was going to be a real underground restaurant — at least before we watched the video. In it, restaurateur Eddie Huang talks about having 30-40 types of toast points, including one topped with Pop Rocks; tables made of iPads people could use to become “mayor” of each table on Foursquare; and that reservations will be on smart phones only because anyone who doesn’t have one probably can’t afford to eat there anyway. The Tasting Table listing plays it pretty straight. Only after watching the video did we notice the date is 4/1.
Our excuse is that coverage of the Bushwick area from Manhattan-based publications is so insufferably and cluelessly douchy — to wit: “Robertasville,” in which all names for our neighborhood except its actual one are unironically used.

this was not believable at all. Seriously, giant ipads for tables? Or how about the bat phone?

Eddie Huang is a dumbass. Anyone that honestly believed this really needs to reevaluate their life.

this is funny and if you don’t think so and are taking it too seriously, you should probably move out of nyc
