Is there such a thing as too much Momofuku?

Well, we aren't quite sure. But we might have gotten pretty close after our experience yesterday. It was delicious nonetheless.

Our most recent obsession

Satisfying one sweet tooth at a time...

Momofuku Bakery Bar

We visit at least once a week now, much to the detriment of our waistline.

Our fave? The banana cake: banana bread, banana cream, hazelnut crunch, gianduja fudge, and maybe peanut butter? Yum!

Yet another WV pub (sigh)

But this one comes with a pedigree, so we'd like to give it a try.

Joaquin Baca (of Momofuku and Rusty Knot fame) has put together an interesting menu for Wilfie & Nell as a favor to his friend Mark Gibson, co-owner of the WV pub:

Here were shepherd’s pies and meat pies. Here were fries with malt vinegar. And here were Scotch eggs, which in case you didn’t know are hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage, then breaded and deep-fried...In short, here was standard-issue pub grub.

Closer inspection revealed things like chicken-liver pâté with onion jam (delicious), Berkshire-pork sliders (delectable), and corned-beef sandwiches with Swiss Gruyère (drool-inducing). Furthermore, Wilfie & Nell, the fine print read, would like to thank the following purveyors: Blue Ribbon Bakery, Murray’s Cheese Shop, Piccinini Brothers (meats), and Bob McClure (pickles).
