On today's episode of All in the Industry®, Shari Bayer's guest is Wilson Tang, owner and operator of Nom Wah, the century-old New York City brand, who has overseen the brand's expansion over the last decade with outposts in Philadelphia, Nolita, Chelsea, and Shenzhen. To celebrate the restaurant's centennial, Wilson published his first cookbook, The Nom Wah Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from 100 Years at New York City’s Iconic Dim Sum Restaurant (October 2020), which celebrates his restaurant and the local businesses around it.
