I just found this blog after I google'd "Bacon wrapped roast chicken" thinking I had something, and sure enough, hello my people.
My girl friend and I have been to Momofuku twice now, (we're LA based tho) and the pork buns are outta sight. I think an LA branch of their pork based kingdom of delight is a must.
Besides the buns, they make a killer roast duck, and a decent bowl of Ramen.
Has anyone tried this:

I'd like to, but not if it will end in deep disappointment.
I'll agree that the hype around this guy is pretty outrageous. But these buns were so good...
Province Canteen makes some good variations of buns using mantou (steamed bread). Cheaper than Momofuku's, too!
I probably couldn't eat more than 100 of those, at one sitting!
that picture is giving my lunch an inferiority complex.
Actually, the bun's texture is not unlike those foam earplugs. In a good way, of course.
If I hear one more word about David Chang, I will stuff my ears with pork buns.
Anybody in the metro DC area, Bob's Noodle House in Rockville makes a "Taiwanese Hamburger" that is the same idea as the bun above - a steamed bun with pork belly, but with pickled mustard greens instead of the cucumbers - and only $3, I think - it's very good.
Now I know where I'm going for lunch tomorrow afternoon.
