Boston has the best butts.

Semi-related: I've always thought David Chang was a supreme douchebag. And this Ugly Delicious show has only reaffirmed my thoughts. That is all.

Yeah I kind of got that from the show too, still really liked it though.

Slaw was too sour, but the pork shoulder was so good I didn't dare put it on a bun or add BBQ sauce, it had to be enjoyed savagely, just chomping on meat with bare hands like a T-Rex.

That taco place fucking kills it.
Chang is a drag but I do like the show.
Savage style pork sounds fun.

Other than being a huge douche? I remember a few years ago him shitting on craft beer because basically he doesn't like beer. He sucks. I'm sure his food is good, and the concept of the show is decent but he's incredibly douchey.

Did you watch any of the show?  
He is a dick a number of times....he owns it and even says he is sorry but I agree.

I don’t know what show you guys are talking about. I have heard him on a number of podcasts and he seemed fine. His food is awesome though and serpico (Chang apprentice) is one of my favorite restaurants in Philly.

Cottage cheese and grapes?  The whole thing looks like a fantastic morning start.  I may go the oatmeal route myself (though I'm guessing yours isn't the Quaker instant kind).

F Me In The Brain

Yeah I liked Serpico when we ate there

Ugly Delicious is the show, on Netflix.

Can't stand David Chang.  For one, I think avant-garde cuisine is utter uppity bullshit and two, he acts like he's the only chef in the fucking world.

F Me In The Brain

I don't dislike his show I just didn't love some of the things he said.  Seems like he has some resentment towards others to deal with.
Enjoying the show.
As far as new and unusual cuisine....I love it.
Jose Andres meals are some of the best / most fun I've ever had eating a meal

hedonist

Hell to the yeah!  I'll take this kind of uppity any day.  Nothing I'd usually order, but the entire meal at Bazaar (not to mention my partners in culinary indulgences) was fucking awesome

Cotton balls on toothpicks.

hedonist

Dammit, Dyer!  I laughed at that.

It was cotton candy foie gras and dee-lish.

HesCalledDyer

I was actually going to guess that whatever it was, was probably meat flavored in the form of cotton candy.  Fuckin avant-garde.

Lunchmeat salad. WOO!
