Famed NYC Chef Whips Up Churro Ice Cream Sandwiches for Olympic Snowboard Queen Chloe Kim in Pyeongchang

When Chloe Kim let the world know how "hangry" she was in between runs of the women's snowboard halfpipe final, a famed New York City chef in Pyeongchang raced to assemble a treat specially for the new gold medalist.

David Chang, chef and founder of the Momofuku restaurant group who's been in South Korea as a special correspondent for the Winter Olympics, surprised Kim with churro ice cream sandwiches after her big win.
