On Nov. 29, Chef David Chang, host of the Netflix food series “Ugly Delicious,” became the first celebrity to win ABC’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
Chang is giving his million-dollar prize earnings to the Houston-based Southern Smoke Foundation, an organization that provides emergency funds for employees and business owners in the hospitality industry.
The 43-year-old restaurateur used his final lifeline to phone a friend to secure the answer to the million-dollar trivia question: “Who was the first president to have electricity in the White House?”
Chang called ESPN journalist Mina Kimes for help with the correct answer—President Benjamin Harrison.
