Bo Ssam

Where else do I go to "EAT"?!
When it's "game-time", the answer is always Momofuku.
And with their plethora of eateries, I chose the Ssam Bar for the incredibly delicious Bo Ssam.

Not only do they use one of the best Berkshire/Duroc crossbreed piggies out in the US market, the meat is marinaded for 6 hours prior to cooking. Then a humbling 8 hours in the oven ensuring the meat is "fall off the bone good".

To take it over the top, you pack it in a lettuce leaf and spoon over kimchi puree and scallion oil for bodacious flavor. And as if that weren't enough to create the ultimate Umami bomb, you top that off with a creamy and briny raw oyster.
Flavor on flavor, with texture on texture, and then more flavor.

Truly one of the best things ever created by man.
