Ingredient Definitely the swine. I can’t think of anything that doesn’t taste good with bacon. One of our best dishes is the pork belly with housemade kimchi.
Kitchen gadget Vegetable juicer. It is a great way to get the flavor of fruits, vegetables and herbs for sauces without all the fiber.
Restaurant Although it isn’t local, I think everyone should try the pork-belly steamed buns from Momofuko Noodle Bar (171 First Ave, NYC, 212-777-7773).
Inspiration This may sound cheesy but I would say my kitchen at home. At the restaurant, I spend most of my time making food that other people enjoy. In my own kitchen I get to choose both the food and the company that I enjoy.
Music to cook to Any Bob Dylan. Highway 61 Revisited specifically.
4539 N Lincoln Ave between Sunnyside and Wilson Aves (773-942-7585).
It's nice to see you get the recognition you deserve. Your down-home approach to cuisine is something that no one can resist. Nicole
