NYC FOODIE DISH OF THE WEEK: CHICKEN FRIED CHICKEN FROM MOMOFUKU SSAM

The NYC FOODIE dish of the week hails from my favorite NYC restaurant, Momofuku Ssam. I stopped in at around Midnight, Saturday night, and noticed a few new dishes on the menu that tickled my fancy. And as a lover of fried chicken, I could not pass up the opportunity to try Momofuku's Bell & Evan's Fried Chicken ($24) with ramps, morels, and egg. The chicken was tender, juicy, and moist. The batter was was light, and gave the meat just the right amount of crunchiness. The sweetness of the morels balanced out the pickled flavor of the ramps. I probably would have liked some sort of kick to the dish, maybe just the addition of some hot sauce would have been nice, for the dish did not blow my mind. But, it still was a great dish, and is the dish of the week! Thank you Mr. Chang and friends for satisfying my late-night cravings for amazing culinary adventures!
