Momofuku Ko "Resi" Hits Craigslist

The coveted Momofuku Ko reservation has reached Craigslist (again), where all in-demand items are eventually available if you're willing to pay the price (which isn't always monetary). A gentleman named "Tom" seems to have found himself a "resi" for two at Ko this week, but is lacking both funds and friends in order to properly enjoy it.

I recently achieved what most have found impossible. I have a resi for two (2) at Ko this Weds. I am offering my one extra seat to anyone who wants to treat me to this most coveted dining celebration. You pay for the food, if we have fun I will pick up the tab for the booze.

Just tell me why this will work for us and the seat is yours.

Best,
tom

While the posting was under the "Strictly Platonic" section, the booze may be implying "Tom" is looking for a little more than Coddled Eggs with Sous Vide Onions.

Why don't they rename it as "Momo Fuck You" and get rid of all the inuendo bullshit.

Ko should cancel Tom's reservation.

Do they serve extra crispy fried blowfish?

too bad bruni already got his resi.

It's soubise onions, not sous vide onions.

Snoopy

How's the lasagna at this place? Do they have cold PBR's? Will there be a limit on the booze bill? Do I have to wear a shirt and shoes?

There should be a media circus around this larger than the silly Black Book subway setup.

Dirk

A loser posting on Craigslist? That's never happened before...

I hope thousands of people answer this sad cry for help so this jerk has to vett candidates and reveal himself for what he is: a friendless, dateless loser with a phone.
