Last month Momofuku's David Chang dropped a blind item about having his intellectual property stolen from from a "successful fast-food company." The speculation is that it was Chipotle with its new chain-in-the-making ShopHouse Southeast Asian Kitchen. When asked about it, Chipotle's director of concept development Tim Wildin gave Eater DC a sort-of non-answer: "We really can't comment on any speculation. You'd have to ask him who that would be... I've never met him. I've never worked with him." [Eater DC]
