Momofuku = Lucky Peach (in Japanese) = Elvis Costello

Sort of weird coincidences going on between me and Momofuku. About a month ago, I went to New York to see some family and some friends. As a result of watching too many episodes of the PBS series The Best Recipes in the World (David Chang, head chef of Momofuku, was featured several times on the show), I felt to compelled to get me some Momofuku. So on two separate occasions, I ate at the Momofuku Ssam Bar and at the Noodle Bar (http://www.momofuku.com/.) Anyways, so my brother who lives in D.C. calls me up and asks me about where I ate in New York to which I mention Momofuku. My brother then tells me that David Chang was profiled in the March 24th issue of the New Yorker, OMG! Then on www.pitchforkmedia.com, today, it turns out that Elvis Costello has named his new album none other than, you guessed it, Momofuku. I know, OMG, right? I've been wondering whether Elvis had the pork steam buns or the $200 pork butt ssam rolls (I kid you not, order a week in advance). The pork butt wouldn't have fit into my budget anyways, I'm not angry.

This Elvis Costello song comes off Costello's classic My Aim is True, "I'm not angry." For those of you who like music trivia, this was E.C.'s first album and was made without the Attractions. On the the first album, instead, was a band known as Clover, which would later become Huey Lewis and the News. OMG, right?
