64 Things Restaurant Patrons Must NEVER Do
It's been a while since we've chimed in on the happenings at Momofuku Ko, so take your medicine. You'll no doubt recall how chef David Chang's 12-seat restaurant is impossible to get reservations for, unless you're willing to ho yourself out through Craigslist. But now it may be a teensy bit easier to get in because the joint will soon be opening for a 16-course "lunch tasting menu." The bad news is that it costs $150 per person and lasts three hours, excluding all but the most idle bon vivants. But for those who do qualify, a blogger for Bon Appetit was able to preview the menu and has posted the first detailed account of all 16 courses. Bacon dashi with bacon fat poached shrimp, anyone?

Has anyone at gothamist actually eaten at this place?
The wisdom of the great Yogi known as Berra comes to mind when Momofuku Ko is mentioned:
Nobody goes there anymore...it's too crowded!
Screw that, I'm going to White Castle.
Matty, that's an excellent question, it would be funny if they covered it but never ate there. Personally, I'd love to eat there (for dinner) if I had more free time to go out. It's become the default restaurant I daydream about, displacing old places like Nobu where I never ate, either.
Can you guys set up a Momofuku-free RSS feed?
Ok, I'll chime in here.
I ate there recently and it was very, very good. I am a mere mortal and I was able to get a reservation with a little bit of persistence.
I don't consider myself a food snob and I basically break down my dining experiences on a scale of Horrible, Not Tasty, Tasty, and Really F*$!-ing good.
Ko received the highest of these ratings and I would gladly spend more money (and more time getting a res) there than for a mediocre meal at other high end restaurants in the city (like Persimmon, which I ate at the other night).
