Today in Gourmet:
“Just so you know,” he said, “The pork belly is supposed to be chewy. I wanted to add a note of authenticity here. In Asia, people eat with the front teeth. Americans eat with the back teeth.” While I chewed and enjoyed the next piece of pork, I thought about my front teeth. They do seem to go woefully underused.
I’m really happy with the way this little piece came out. I got schooled.

I was kinda underwhelmed by Monsoon East when Danika and I tried it a week ago.. Sure, we just sat in the bar and ate Happy Hour stuff, but it really didn’t do it for me.
