Sifton Dubs Madangsui Best BBQ in K-Town
I don’t know what you guys think, but I’m pretty psyched to finally have a NYT reviewer that eats like us. In 5 years as the restaurant critic of the New York Times Frank Bruni and Midtown Lunch crossed paths just once (his 2 star review of Szechuan Gourmet.) But in less than three months Sam Sifton (who is quickly becoming my favorite food reviewer of all time) has doubled that output- first with his one star review of Le Relais de Venise L’entrecote, and today with his one star review of Madangsui- a great Korean BBQ place on 35th btw. 5+6th. Getting real Korean BBQ (where your meat gets grilled on the table right in front of you) is too expensive for Midtown Lunch’ing purposes, but if you’ve always wondered where the best place to get it in our neck of the woods is Sifton says Madangsui.

“There are . . . salty tangles of wakame dressed with sweet vinegar, soft on the tongue, a kiss in a rock club, right after the show.”
Dude…you’re trying too hard. Did you really kiss someone that tasted like soggy salted seaweed and vinegar? Was this a kiss on the lips or…?
