Listen up, peeps: It’s just a friggin’ restaurant. You’d think otherwise, though, given the delirious hype that has greeted David Chang’s limited-seating, prix-fixe spot. Twelve seats are available, and reservations are only taken online up to a week in advance. (“If there happen to be two seats open, we will accept walk-ins,” says a Momofuku rep. Uh, yeah, right.) The $85, nine-course meal, which changes daily, highlights Chang’s predilection for inspired pairings (lychee with foie gras shavings) and—hello?—pork, pork, pork. The kitchen is actually helmed by executive chef Peter Sepico. Which means Chang probably watches, omniscient, from somewhere on high. Which kinda makes him, well, God. Which many would probably agree with.
