One of my favorite Korean Tasting menus in NYC, the team at Ddobar headed by @jiho_kim_pastry & @chef_y is a must visit 🫶

Their $135 Studio Chef Tasting Menu is 14 courses - a mix of yubutarts, beautiful plated courses and a dessert to cap it off. (Right now their dessert is a homemade Melona soft serve topped with salt that’s amazing)

1. Hiramasa Yubutart w/ Osetra Caviar & Yuzu Crema
2. Scallop w/ Baba Ganoush & Summer Peppers
3. Carpaccio Tonnato w/ Hokkaido Uni

Coming back to NYC today from Austin, Texas. I had to end my journey with an airplane since the train consumes so much travel time and it was not fitting to my schedule. I had really awesome bbq in salty lick and had a chance to see their smoker and their triple smoking process. Went to NASA when i was around Houston. Met my old friend that i have not seen around 7 years. Had great time with really good people... and i am so ready to come back home. taken in The Salt Lick Round Rock by @chef_y

Probably the last food photos in New Orleans. These are taken yesterday. I had really impressive grilled okra with bagna cauda and dirty rice for my first lunch. Yes i had two luncheons, one full course dinner in kenton and late night drinks in live jazz bars on frenchmen st to finale my trip in New Orleans. I do not know how I did it although I feel that i became a fat white kid. Anyway, the dirty rice and okra was outstanding. Pickled chili with bagna cauda was really nice combination. I would love to go back to eat them again anytime! Kenton ( thank you kyle!) was a really great bourbon oriented restaurants. Lots of awesome seafood dishes and whisky selections. I had really great time! taken in New Orleans, Louisiana by @chef_y

Fried alligator in cochon for lunch, and then fancy dinner in August. Literally, i have never stopped eating food here although my stomach hates me. Foods are really good and special here. Chefs in august were doing very thoughtful and innovative dishes and of course awesome service. I have learned a lot and cannot wait to try some stuff once I go back to NYC. taken in August by @chef_y
