Jenny Dorsey is a chef, an author, a food-studies researcher, and the founder of Studio ATAO, a nonprofit that thinks more carefully about food culture than most restaurants do. She is currently based in Singapore. She is not running a restaurant. She does not need to. The work shows up in books and essays now.

The wontons have to be sealed without trapped air, or they float wrong. Dorsey's were sealed clean. Bobby's, per the broadcast, were "a little tight." Tight wontons in a clear broth are a tell.
