David Chang wins the million-dollar prize on ‘Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?’ and will donate the money to hospitality workers

David Chang, founder of Momofuku and host of Ugly Delicious, is the first celebrity to win the million-dollar prize on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? He has announced he will use the money to support hospitality workers, NBC News reports. On last Sunday’s episode, Chang used his last lifeline to phone a friend, Mina Kimes, an ESPN analyst and journalist, to help answer the final question. Chang chose to donate his winnings to the Southern Smoke Foundation, a Houston-based crisis relief organization for people working in the hospitality industry. “I was over the moon we could do that, because it’s been a ridiculously tough year,” said Chang.
