An east village fast food fried chicken joint that originated in Korea. The gimmick is they fry everything in extra virgin olive oil. Super crispy, moist chicken. The best was the BB wings - a sauceless juicy hot wing that is packed with flavor...me thinks there's ton of MSG in the batter. A tad pricey at $8 for 10 wings, but still worth it for me.

After our amuse bouche at the chicken joint, we met up another friend at Momofuku Noodle. As my wife mentioned, this is a completely different noodle bar from the one that originally opened way back when - noodles are their weakest food item. They're doing some fun things here, but the place is a mob scene. Not sure I would necessarily wait like some of these people - some were waiting an hour plus to get in. Also, the food was a tad pricey, but still 100% worth it - bout 70 a head. The standouts were the whole fried chicken - crispy, moist and topped with a flavorful garlic, ginger, scallion combo. Also, the pork belly roll in the ramen was a big time wtf moment...definitely something I would get alone. And finally the shitake bun, which surprisingly is better than the pork bun which was a tad dry.
