its pork shoulder. when i emailed for reservations explaining the four of us and a 40th birthday the reply was that they really suggest at least 6 for the bo ssam. i replied we would eat and spend like six and we were in.
it arrives, as other customers oooooo and ahhh, on a huge plate with a bowl of rice, a bowl of butter lettuce leaves and four sauces. one sauce was kimchee, another pureed kimchee, one was green things and another was like a marinara. each one was wicked, but i enjoyed just the sweet, succulent meat.
you take the meat, plop it in the lettuce, top it with the sauce and repeat until your bloat resembles one of sally struthers kids.
i had a rootbeer.
and in the end, the head waiter informed us he was impressed we did that much damage and only four burly men had done better.
i did not need to eat for the rest of the night.
