Hyper egalitarian, no exceptions, not if you're Ruth Reichl or even the Chef's parents, everyone must use online reservations system. The good news: once in you swoon.
Okay - first things first: you know I loved, loved, loved the food at Momofuku. But the Big Brother complacency "surveillance is okay if it's only because our insurance company asks us to do it" bothers me. I cannot see anything good coming out of rolling over for insurance companies. Ever. And then there's the civil liberties erosion...you can read about the issue and the restaurant's response here.
But let me get back to David Chang's food. It's pretty remarkable that any critic on one visit would issue a four star rating but this is exactly what Adam Platt of New York Magazine did.
Whether it's Momofuku or Momofuku-ko...I say, go, go, go...just know someone's watching.
