A Sandwich a Day: Braised Pork with Peanuts and Sour Mustard Greens at Taiwan Cafe, Boston

Momofuku might have made steamed pork buns cool (if not small and expensive), but there are still places where they fulfill their original goal: a cheap, delicious, workingman's lunch. I like to think of the Braised Pork With Peanuts and Sour Mustard Greens In Steamed Bun ($3.75) from Boston's Taiwan Cafe as something like a Chinese Reuben. It's got the same basic flavor profile.

Seattle: Judging Cochon 555, the Super Bowl of Swine

Seattle chefs brought their A-game to Sunday's Cochon 555, the Super Bowl of Sustainable Swine.

All Give Praise To The Pork Belly

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer's Hsiao-Ching Chou dissects the increasing popularity of what's always been my favorite cut of pork: "Forget oysters. If you want to get a chef all hot and bothered, whisper "pork belly" in her ear. "It's such an amazing textural experience," said Maria Hines, chef and owner of Tilth restaurant. "You have a nice layer of meat, a nice layer of fat, another nice layer of meat, another nice layer of fat, and when you cook it properly, you have a thin crispy layer on top that's crackly when you bite down into it -- which you should never do in less than three seconds."...
