About Joe DiStefano
Location: Rego Parkistan
About: Living in Queens turned me into an ethnic food obsessive. I never know whether I'm going to be eating succulent Mexican chivo on Roosevelt Ave. or dining on a mess of clams at a po jang ma cha (Korea's answer to the izakaya) in Flushing's Murray Hill.
Favorite foods: A well-executed Vietnamese sandwich with crispy roast pork and hot peppers, bone marrow on toast , Noodletown's soft shells, rare Kobe beef, the point or "deckle" cut of brisket fresh out of the smoker, Mom's garlicky potato croquettes
Last bite on earth: see above
