Bacon Bra
You know what, I'm not offended by the bacon bra as such - however I got quite quite irritated at the completely sexist way it was described. I mean, there's totally a difference between presenting this story a bit more neutrally like: "hey kids, this crazy woman is wearing a bacon bra/tshirt/funny hat - HIGH-larious/ew!"
versus (and I am paraphrasing liberally "out of context" here)
"People (and by people we mean men)!: We love women AND boobs, so here's a great idea to make money AND objectify women. Woots! Women, even you crazy kosher chicks, think about getting one of these to please your man (because that's what you're here for obviously)". That's pretty much the gist I got. And yes, of course, if you don't like it, you've got no sense of humour. That's what they all say. I got that this is supposed to be funny/weird, but what's with the sexist commentary? Hmm?
Would you ever, ever see a description of say, men's bacon briefs in the same way? I think not.
This is definitely a low point for serious eats.

I'm considering a beer can turkey. Yep, beer can turkey. Needs a big can o' beer.

I can remain silent no longer. David Chang, in my opinion (as someone who grew up eating a wide variety of noodle soups, including ramen), is not a noodle god or anywhere near it. He's a pork god, if anything, but his noodles are consistently soft and overcooked (criminal!) and his broth overly salty, peppery, greasy and heavy. Heavy broths, if done well, are excellent, but I was unable to finish a third of Chang's ramen broth. I've yet to see anyone who is a ramen-fancier or who has had an average bowl of ramen in Japan list Momofuku as a good place to get ramen in NYC. Chang doesn't make ramen, he makes a generic noodle soup, and unfortunately a noodle soup that isn't even that good. Why, why make the noodles so mushy David Chang?!
However I will say his pork is excellent, and it's clear with his other food that he is a pretty decent chef. What a pity a slice of berkshire pork does not a bowl of ramen make.
