FOOD SKETCH #56: Sulungtang
Sulungtang from Gahm Mi Oak in Koreatown, NYC.
Humble, hearty bowl of ox-bone soup -- a perfect winter dish. The broth is milky white from bones simmering for a long period of time; white rice and noodles are at the bottom of the bowl and slices of brisket are in the soup. It comes with a plate of kimchi (which I think is the best in the city), and on the table there are bowls of chopped scallions and coarse salt, covered in Saran Wrap. You add both and season the soup yourself.

FOOD SKETCH #55: Motorino Pizza
Margherita pizza pie from Motorino.
Motorino was one of the few places open in the East Village, right after Hurricane Sandy. With no power, pizza dough was mixed by hand and pies were served by candlelight. Tonight, only margherita pizzas were being served (with an option of a soppressata topping). All proceeds today went to the Red Cross.
More restaurants helping out with the hurricane relief effort here.

FOOD SKETCH #54: IKEA Swedish Meatballs
It's been an insanely busy summer**, and I've taken a small break from posting here this past month.
But I'm back! I have a bunch of sketches lined up, and am starting off with your typical IKEA fare: swedish meatballs, cream sauce, mashed potatoes and lingonberry sauce. From the Red Hook, Brooklyn IKEA.
