Majordomo - Chinatown

Not that I saw, but we sat outside on the patio (very nice btw, plenty of heat lamps), so I didn’t go inside very much.

Does DC himself even get down and dirty on the line anymore these days?

yep, watched sergio make this crispy rice dish for me.

Damn, like DC says in Ugly Delicious, that boy does have a big ass head.

Now that’s an “ode”!

(new)grilled kanpachi collar, sunflower hozon, pickled rhubarb
Damn, this was the highlight of the night. The best prep of kanpachi collar i’ve had in a long time. Perfectly cooked and balanced flavors, crispy skin, and the meat was moist and softer than a sneaker full of shit. Thanks for the rec @DTLAeater

Imo this is the sleeper dish here, makes Nomad’s chicken look like a joke. It came with a chicken salad and chicken broth with morels and fava beans.
I also ordered two bings, snap peas, and pickled onion rings.

agreed! the boiled chicken is so good. i prefer the chicken soup with the hand torn noodles and the morels more than the "Hainan " chicken dish. But overall a great menu item. i would order again.

Fish Sauce update. on Friday the scent wasn’t nearly as strong so it wasn’t a thing they do just for fun… must have had a spill that first time.

Did the chicken salad replace the chicken soup with hand torn noodles or are they serving the chicken in three courses now, rice, salad, soup?

It’s been replaced

That’s tragic. :frowning:

Well, it is fava bean and morel season, both of which are available for a short time. I’m sure the other version will be back in winter.

ohhh, that is sad. the soup was so good!

The new version is pretty damn good. The broth at the end is utter perfection. I wish I had a bucket of it to bathe myself in. The salad is no joke either, chicken jus dressing. drool.

Another two dishes that popped up that were really good. They had a cold green bean prep that was tasty. The new heirloom tomato dish that took over the tofu/cherry tomato is awesome. Thai basil, stone fruit (plum/beach), tossed with the tomatoes. Perfect summer dish.

Didn’t love the market lettuce dish. Basically lettuce, grated cheese with a light dressing.
