Don't feel too sad about it, he launched Ando which is the same thing but faster and with better food quality.

He is still doing https://andofood.com/ so I wouldn't worry too much...

I cancelled my sub after learning he was affiliated. Explains a lot of the operational shortfalls. He's a brilliant chef, sometimes, but figured he never needed to learn how to run a business and it shows across his portfolio.

What do you mean by "affiliated?"

David Chang owns equity in Maple and is their brand icon [1].
