Re: MUTHERFUKIN KOOOOOOOOOO

A friend of mine who tends to feel the way I do about meals has never said anything positive about Daniel. I love the burger at DB bistro, but her review of Daniel itself has been so negative that I won't even bother. This is a woman who is normally indifferent to price (at any level), and she was offended by what they charged as well as underwhelmed by what she ate.

Re: MUTHERFUKIN KOOOOOOOOOO

ddohnggo? you might wanna try out Blue Hill restaurant on Washington place. It's been awhile since I've been to NYC, but that place makes an incredible orange duck. Also had a great experience at The Modern.

I gotta check out Blue Hill. Everyone keeps raving about it.

I've been cooking a lot since graduation, and decided to start sharing what I've been working on in my [gasp!] blog; http://buildingatimecapsule.blogspot.com</p>

I'm going to start taking pics of the food as well, good practice for menu making.

without the wine, it's ko without the o.</p>

pork and oysters is strange indeed. maybe the heat wave threw them off. bummer that you didn't enjoy it more.</p>

Too bad you didn't enjoy Ko as much as you would have hoped Joey :(</p>

I read up more about it and it seems like an asia-fied version of Chef Dufresne's style mixed in with some Chef Cantu.</p>

I find it funny that people are buzzing about the shaved foie gras when it's already been done by Cantu and by Adria (naturally hahaha). </p>

Nothing wrong with it at all of course (Ko and the cuisine), but such ridiculous hype must leave many gastronomes scratching their heads if they've eaten at WD-50 and Moto.</p>

Certainly looks like a delicious place though. My brother is working on reservations :)</p>

chang is absolutely not trying to be a molgastronomist. in fact, the dining experiences at ko and wd50/moto are so different as to be nearly incomparable.

I wish Chang posted the weekly Ko menu, but of course I understand why it isn't. I am left only to go by written reviews and the few photos floating around online. What makes Ko so distinctly Ko?

The list of places I'll be going to in NYC:</p>

blue hill</p>

per se</p>

le bernardin</p>

gramercy tavern</p>

masa</p>

fuck momofuku ko, and ssam bar?, the only way to get a reservation is to order a whole pork for 8-10 people. </p>

[ddohnggo]

Re: MUTHERFUKIN KOOOOOOOOOO



you don't necessarily need a reservation for ssam bar. the time i went there with 5 people, we were seated immediately and ate some great food. i had a marinated pork ssam wrap that was delicious. </p>

ko, on the otherhand, is whole other beast.

Re: MUTHERFUKIN KOOOOOOOOOO

the thing is I HATE waiting and for such a short trip it would be better to get my tables very fast. My schedule is very tight but I do have an open space to go check ssam bar, if it's too crowded I have a second option ready.
