PrintSugar Rush: Rhubarb Shortcake from Ssam Bar
No matter what anyone tells you, summer dreams are most certainly made of the rhubarb shortcake with whipped creme fraiche found at Momofuku Ssam Bar. A duo of golden shortcake rounds - buttery crisp with a most delightful crumble sinking into a sweet and tart bath of poached greenmarket rhubarb. But the crowning joy is without a doubt, billowy clouds of Kendall Farm's creme fraiche whipped into a fantastic frenzy. Who needs pork buns when you've got shortcake? 207 Second Ave., New York, NY 10003 (near 13th Street); momofuku.com

This is the most perfect rhubarb I've ever met, and one of my favorite desserts. I'll be very sad when this leaves the menu.

I'll too be sad when it leaves...but when it does, I hope they replace it with the tristar strawberry version...o_O!
