| | | | | | [A note of sorts: This entry originally took place on October 13th. I'm slow.] "WUUAAHAH, ALEX!!!" I shouted something roughly resembling the above exclamation of crazed buggy-eyed surprise (I have no photographic evidence of the buggy eye, but trust me) when Alex finally appeared outsi... Read More | | | | | | If you don't like Momofuku Ssam Bar, you're with the enemy. Or you're a vegetarian/vegan, which is perfectly fine. Except that you'll never be able to appreciate the goodness of pucks of deep-fried pork fat, or tofu cubes deep-fried in pork fat, or pork laden with pork fat. I've accepted the fact... Read More | | | | | | Robyn's birthday dinner at Momomfuku Ssam acutally took place way back in mid-October, but sigh, you know how time fliiiieeees. One week turns into another, and before you know it, you're ten pounds heavier, and it's mid-November! Going back in time, Robyn invited a lucky bunch of us out for some ma... Read More | | | | | | Table of 8 I think I need an Momofuku intervention - or maybe I just need to move out my neighborhood so it's less convenient to get to. I'm less than a 10 minute walk away from either. Last week I went three days in a row. The first two times I went after I already had dinner elsewhere! Th...

The Momofuku restaurants (Momofuku Noodle Bar, Momofuku Ssam Bar, and the latest Momofuku Ko) and their omnipotent, do-no-wrong, GQ’s Chef of the Year creator Dav... Read More | | | | | | "I don't know how much meat I can eat." I said those words not actually being unaware of how much meat I could fit into my belly—the meat in question being the bo ssam at Momofuku Ssam Bar—but with the assumption that the amount I could comfortably digest would be pathetically meager. Wh... Read More | | | | | | Is it possible to be more hyped than David Chang? Where should we start? In 2007, he was the James Beard Rising Star Chef of the Year. Both Bon Appétit and GQ named him Chef of the Year. Frank Bruni awarded two stars to Momofuku Ssäm Bar, then named it Best New Restaurant of 2007, despite ... Read More | | | | | | Is it possible to be hotter than Momofuku Ssäm Bar? Well, I suppose you could be The Waverley Inn. Aside from that, Momofuku Ssäm Bar is about as hot as it gets, with practically monthly mentions in New York magazine, the Times, and elsewhere.The restaurant, an offshoot of the successful... Read More | | | | | | You've all read it. David Chang is the best chef today. He is innovative, creative and the food is fantastic. After doing "the pig" last night, I couldn't agree more.
