The above snap of Dave Chang's new Momofuku Noodle Bar, a relocated, expanded version of the original, comes to us from a top level street correspondent. Chang, if we know the guy, is lining up a big time reveal of the space in, say The New York Times, but, hey, if the door is open, we're taking a photo. Chang in his own words: "At the new Noodle Bar we’re going to have more seats (55 versus 27) and more kitchen space (not that you care). The menu will probably grow a little bit (Will Kevin Pemoulie make daily specials for Larry Bird? We can hope. Will there be cutlets on the menu? Almost certainly not) and we hope that waits will shrink and the food will improve."
Below, an early floorplan, to make the above photography all the more thrilling.
Its a recurring segment about new and upcoming restaurant openings. Although you may not give a damn, some people might. Where's the shill? If you are just using this comment board to huck shit at someone you don't like, why not just go down to either location and look for the people responsible so that you can do it in person?
quino,
shall I "come down there" jerky boy's style? grow up, little man.
It is in fact a "shill" when a blog spends endless amounts of time and energy to make sure we all know that the same momofuku with more seats is opening two doors down-- months from now when by any count there are at least 20+ notable restaurant openings. oh lest we forget diamond dave chang, the owner is a "contributor" to said blog.
try to step outside of your pork bun haze and try to be objective.
or, spend more time making the restaurant better instead of reading this ridiculous crap.
