I Can't Get No....

Do you ever have that yearning for something that hits the sweet spot of our stomach? Not necessarily something sweet in flavor, just something so vibrant yet subtle; mellow but packed with an undeniable punch of freshness; nothing too heavy nor rich; just something to make us....satisfied. I have been searching for that something for far too long. I thought it might be the classic chocolate layer cake. Nope. Perhaps (the mother-in-law of comfort food) chicken Parmesan. Niente. Okay, how about (the Godfather of soul food) pork belly....'no count. What is it then? Ever have that "ah-ha" moment where everything seems to click, like a light goes on in the attic? Well please fill me in where I can get that next time I sit down to a meal because my attic has been vacant at most every meal I have encountered. I have to say, however, the only thing I swear I could eat everyday for the rest of my life for breakfast lunch and dinner would be the pork rolls from Momofuku. I don't care if they are served off of a garbage can, they are by far the best thing I have consumed in my most recent years. I would say they are the closest thing to satisfaction I have had since my best meal ever which consisted of braised rabbit in Riesling with pan fried spaetzle from Le Cirque. My mission continues; suggestions are welcome....
