Friday, July 3rd -- Finally made it to one of David Chang's
Momofuku Ssäm. Excellent, as expected. The steamed pork buns are truly amazing. We also had
Benton's Smokey Mountain Country Ham. It was shaved thin, like prosciutto. Delicious. The "Bread and Butter" small dish is exactly that: bread with a delicious salted butter, and lardo. (Yes, lard.) Decadent. For the main dish I had the Bell & Evan's Fried Chicken. My wife had the pork shoulder. Both savory and satisfying.
But on to the drinks, which were unique and surprisingly delicious, thanks to Don Lee.
My first was was the Pickled Ramp Martini, using
Haymans Old Tom Gin, dry vermouth, ramp brine and bitters. Next up, the Celery & Nori Old Fashioned -- Nori infused Laird's Applejack, celery syrup and
celery bitters.
Looking forward to going back soon.
