Momofuku Fried Chicken Dinner

So among foodies in NYC, Momofuku's Fried Chicken Dinner is one of the hottest tickets in town.

You have to brave the weird online reservation system where it's harder to secure a reservation than it is to score Lady Gaga tickets.

AC, after three months of trying, finally got a rezzie, just in time for his birthday.

You show up at the restaurant, and you don't even have to wait in the crazy line. A table was waiting just for us.

The fried chicken is served with four sauces and you eat it in a wrap Peking Duck-style.



The fried chicken is served in two styles. The Southern-style chicken is fried with a buttermilk and old bay batter. The Korean-style chicken is triple fried and served with a light spicy glaze.



There is a set portion for the table and costs a flat fee of $100 and serves up to 8 people. (Or 4-5 beastly boys.) (Or 2 obeses.)

We had 6 people (4 boys who can EAT and two tiny girls) and we were plenty full.










DEEEE-RICIOUS!

Best Burger Ever

Robb brought me to Cafe D'AlSace for brunch. It is on 88th and 2nd right near his new apartment.

And it. is. amazing.



Their brunchburger is a one-pound (I think) pound of ultimate burgerful glory crusted in peppery goodness and smothered with gruyere and muenster cheese and grilled onions and I'm getting the meatsweats just thinking about it again.



Robb had one too.



Two thumbs way way up.

Kurta Quest / EatFest

Sunday | July 21, 2009

Felly and I went to Jackson Heights in Queens to search for Kurta Pajamas (Indian clothing) for his sister's upcoming wedding.

Being in Jackson Heights is like being in India.






For lunch we had an epic meal at the Jackson Diner.



Later that evening we went to Employee's Only in the West Village.

It was DE-licious.

Meatplate...



Steak Tartare...



Lambchops...



Gnocchi...



Cavatelli with Sausage and Arugula...



YUM.

SUR: Best Lunch Ever

For lunch we hit up my favorite WeHo restaurant: Sur.

With a decor that reminds me of South Beach and a waitstaff that consists solely of runway models, it's a super sweet and not-too-expensive place for lunch or brunch.

They serve awesome White Sangria.



The foods is good too.




MAO!
