Sounds incredible. O just ate at Momofuko noodle bar. And I walked by Ko, peering in with envy. At least with your pictures, I get a slight taste, well not really taste, but glimmer.

Is there a trick to getting reservations at KO? I’ve tried just about every day for over a month now.

Chicken Fried Gourmet: Thanks for the compliment. Yes, Marvis was hostile but I got over it.

Edgy555: Aren’t we all conflicted? Most of the time, I would take photos without asking until a staff member (e.g. waiter) would ask me nicely, not to. If Marvis was actually asked me not to photograph him, fine. I won’t take a photo of you, just my food and the general people who don’t protest.

Amanda: I agree. Though, Marvis ain’t old.

Liz: You’re welcome. Thanks for the compliment.

J: Thank you! I wish I could get compensated…alas, it’s not going to happen.

[...] foodies have been bringing their digital cameras to Ko and posting pictures online (1,2,3), giving the less fortunate a better idea of what they’re missing. This practice became so [...]

Thanks so much for this post - I’m visiting NYC for the first time next month, and have been dying to try at least one of the Momofukus. Your post and pictures have been a great really helpful in planning our stay, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who really appreciates them.

It’s obvious from all your writing how important the food, as opposed to what ol’ grumpy guts up there calls ’status dining’, is to you. Keep up the good work!

I love taking pictures of my food! I appreciate expensive food so much, I want to remember it forever! That Marvis sounds like a real stodgy old fellow.

hmmm…I absolutely understand not wanting to eat next to someone taking pictures like a mad man. At the same time, I just scored a reservation this morning and your blog is seriously whetting my appetite. I’m so conflicted!

Thank you for what you do. Some of us cannot get to NYC to dine at these places so we live through the lens of foodbloggers and we appreciate it. I would hope that if I ever tooka pic of somebody at a restaurant they would okay it, if not I would take it down. The manner in which you posted, Marvis, was hostile from the start. I am sure if you would have sent a private email you would have gotten the same result but what do I know I live ina flyover state. Thank you again WE I love your work.
