Latecomers Can Forget Momofuku for Super Bowl Bo Ssam

20081211-momofukuqbIf you haven't already ordered a bo ssam for your Super Bowl party, don't bother. Zach Brooks forwards us this email from a Momofuku rep: "Apologies, but the Super Bowl Bo Ssam is sold out."

I don't know... does the bakery make a cake out of a giant pork butt? If they do, I'll take one of those.

Anybody want to sell me theirs? (Seriously...)

Yeah. I didn't include that part, because whoTF cares about bakery stuff for the Super Bowl?

You can't imagine how much I want to go through just one week without hearing about this joint; its proximity to the much more valuable--and lost forever--Five Roses Pizza says all one needs to know about the state of the EV.

And you know what, it wouldn't have been mentioned if I had just gotten my damn bo ssam!

People who complain about hearing about Momofuku are roughly the same people who complain about hearing about DiFara's or the Shake Shack. You're going to hear about these places because other people want to hear about them because they like them and want to hear more about what they're doing. And really, is it so damn hard just to skip to the next story? Did you miss that basic ability when you were learning how to use the Internet?

Not to worry. You can easily make your own. I made this recipe last week and it was fantastic and delicious.

I used a heritage pork butt from Ottomanelli's on Bleecker St. but even your average supermarket cut will be good.
