Sugar 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
