after a FUN and busy day working at my shop in park slope, michael and i ventured out to red hook section of brooklyn saturday night for what we were about to experience a culinary delight! we found out about good fork after watching the show “throwdown with bobby flay” where chef sohui kim decisively defeated bobby flay in a throwdown for the BEST dumplings! after having tasted her delicious and flavorful dumplings, i can attest to her victory.
the good fork is the perfect neighborhood spot with its warm and homey personality but the eclectic food will win the hearts of any manhattanites. who knows we might end up moving right next door…
recommendations:
* LOVE the pork and chive dumplings featuring a superbly delicate dough wrapper and a vibrant dipping sauce.
* crab cake with chili aioli, radish sprouts and endives were mouth watering.
* the good fork burger was super juicy and came with these GI-gantic onion rings that were as big as the hamburger itself (but super light)- we give it A++
* shrimp scallion pancakes had a nice spicy kick to it. DELISH~
