Sun says
"This sauce is spectacular"
It's hard to say who's really
eager to eat an appetizer that looks straight
out of "Bodies — The Exhibition,"
but, in any event, these balls were definitely
the low point at the Javits Center show. Happily,
a lot more high points abounded. Fad-starved Zagatniks,
fear not: Some great new food is winging its way
to New York, especially from Japan.
"It's no. 1 curry shop in Japan," chef
Kenny Kaneko said of his enterprise, GoGo Curry.
In Japanese, GoGo means 55, which just happens
to be Yankee outfielder Hideki Matsui's number.
When the first GoGo opens up on Eighth Avenue
and 38th Street in the next month or so, the one
and only food it will sell is bowls of rice smothered
in thick, dark brown sauce that looks just like
the glop that used to glisten atop your parents'
plates of egg foo young.
The difference is: This
sauce is spectacular. It tastes
like a cross between curry, teriyaki, and the
pan drippings from boeuf bourguignon. The savory
mound is then topped with a helping of meat, chicken,
shrimp, sausage, or egg, and will sell for five
or six well-spent bucks (or 600 yen, if you have
it).
