Judy Huang

Judy Huang appears in Chef vs. Robot as co-owner of Ting Wong. She presents Phuong Hoang Chiang’s credentials, explains why Wok Hei matters to diners, and says skilled wok work is hard to staff because the labor is intense and technique-dependent.

Huang’s view makes the source more than a cost comparison. She understands why restaurants might use robots, but worries that automation can flatten the flavor and tradition that come from human wok training.
