First, am I the only person who thinks "Momofuku" does not mean Lucky Peach or refer to the name of some obscure ramen person from Japan but actually means "Mother F_ker"?
That seems particularly obvious with the name of the latest chicken sandwich spinoff, FUKU. Seriously has no one noticed, or is he now so powerful that no one acknowledges, that David Chang is flipping off all of Manhattan?
Having said that, I must say I have had so much bad pork belly in many restaurants that I have to respect the fact that he can maintain a certain level of quality despite having opened one chain outpost after another. Not even Danny Meyer can claim that with the horribly inconsistent Shake Shacks in Washington DC.
Soul sucking, maybe. That City Center Momofuku is very corporate, albeit quite convenient (and certainly better than the Boulud DBGB that opened nearby).
However, the Momofuku Ramen did lose something in the chain process. The broth tasted like someone dumped a couple of tablespoons of liquid smoke in it. I won't go into what the runny egg white looked like...
