Zak Pelaccio on the Upper West Side? Fat(ty) chance! The heart-clogging, Asian-leaning chef finally unveils the highly anticipated uptown outpost of his popular Malaysian street-food mecca in the West Village, making him the latest in a growing line of A-list toques who've trekked to the nabe (see: Daniel Boulud, Danny Meyer, Danny Abrams). "I don't speak Upper Westside-ian—I've still got my Berlitz to finish," Pelaccio joked to us last fall as he prepped for the opening." We bet he's fluent now: He brings with him Fatty Crab's spice-laden signature bites, including lime-chili-and-coconut-braised short rib and chili-laced "Fatty Duck." The space is larger than the downtown one—over 70 seats—with a more industrial-chic vibe and a mural of Malaysia's skyline. So, now that the new Crab has crawled out of the sand, maybe he can finally tell us what's going on with the long-delayed Fatty 'Cue in Williamsburg…

If this location has the same menu as the downtown location, you are in for a treat! Although a warning to the wise, the waiters encourage you to o...
