I-Instagram igcwele imifanekiso ye-RedFarm's signature Pac-Man dumplings. Ngubani ongafuni ukulala noSheryl? wabuza lendoda ngasekhohlo kwam. Kodwa URick ?
Indoda yangcangcazela yile ngcinga, kwaye isiqwenga senyama yenkomo sibambelele kwizinti zayo zixhonyiwe njengesilungisi, esoyika.
Nokuba ingcinga yokuba uRick ubukele kwikona iyandicima, wavuma umhlobo wale ndoda, owayehleli ejongene nayo kwitafile yomdibaniso eRedFarm entsha kwi-Upper West Side.
Ezi zimbini zokutyela bezixoxa ngesibini sabantu esisebenza nabo benamahemuhemu okuba bazokudada. Ukujonga ii-cashmere blazers zabo kunye neewotshi ezinkulu, ii-angular, bobabini basebenze kumzi mveliso weenkonzo zezezimali. Emva kwexesha, ngaphezulu kokumnandi kwengqolowa yehagu, baxoxa ngeeholide ezizayo e-Aspen, ezilandelwa zii-playoffs ze-NFL, iziphumo kunye neSheryl kwakhona. Izifundo zimatshiwe ngokukhawuleza ngokungathi ziyalelwe nguzwilakhe ozonda ukuthula, incoko isuka kumxholo ukuya kwisihloko njengoko amadoda akhangela indibaniselwano yokuvula ubudlelwane babo.
Enye into engakhange ibhengezwe yayikukutya okuhleli phambi kwabo-iivumba zenyama yehagu enencasa, i-barbecue yenkomo eqhotsiweyo irayisi, isaladi ye-cinematic ye-dayboat tuna, iblueberries kunye ne-jicama.
Ukuba kuye kwenzeka kubo, ngebabe banokuninzi abanokuxoxa ngako. Apha, njengoko besedolophini, u-Ed Schoenfeld, osisiqhulo, ozelwe eBrooklyn, umTshayina otyebile ngokutya, kunye noJoe Ng, owazalelwa eHong Kong, iPark Slope-ephakanyiswe njengenkosana yedin sum, baye bafumana ubumnandi baya kuHenry Ford -inqanaba lokuzenzekelayo. Phantse yonke into evelayo ekhitshini kungenzeka ukuba ibe yenye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo zokutya kwaseTshayina oya kuba nako.
I-RedFarm ngumatshini oneoyile (nangona ingekho igrisi) yinto elungileyo nayo. Indawo yokutyela igcwele nje ngololiwe wedolophu 1 ngeyure engxamisekileyo. Ngobusuku endandityelele ngabo, izidlo ezinesithende esineeheed zangena ngokungxama kumnyango wokungena ngokungathi zizikrelemnqa kwiindonga zenqaba. Ukuba abathunywa uSchoenfeld kunye noNg bebengayazi indlela yokunika abathengi babo into abayifunayo ubusuku nobusuku, banokuba negumbi eligcwele abantu abanomsindo ababeqhele ukwenza indlela yabo. Kwaye ngumbono owoyikisa ngaphezu kukaSheryl ogezayo ngelixa uRick ebukele.
Xa iRedFarm inkqonkqozwa, ihlala ikukutya kwamaTshayina kwabaMhlophe. Kwimeko yokuma kwayo e-Upper West Side, kukutya kwamaTshayina kumaJuda amadala (ngaphezulu kokundwendwela okumbalwa, ndabona uRichard Kind, umdlali we-archetypal nebbishy, kunye no-überjew Eli Zabar), enabaxhasi abenza ukuba iWest Village ibonakale ilungile kwaye yahlukile . Isihlwele esihlanyayo, kumaqhosha e-Brooks Brothers, sigcwalisa indawo yokutyela kunye no-Shearith Israel ngasemva ukuhleba kunye nezivakalisi eziqala, ndive kuLeonard Lopate namhlanje… Ekuphela kwabantu base-Asiya endibabonileyo, ngaphandle kwabalindi, babeselula Isibini saseIndiya. (Ew, igcinwe imifuno, ndive lo mfazi esitsho. Ithetha ntoni loo nto?)
Eminye yale nto inento yokwenza nobume bommandla kwaye ezinye zazo zinenqaku lamaxabiso emenyu. Le ayisiyiVenkile yeGolide yokuThengisa eFlushing, apho iidola ezi-4 zikufumanela amadombolo ali-12. Yeyona Upper West Side, apho iidola ezili-12 zikufumanela amadombolo amane. 
Isaladi yenkukhu eyosiweyo: hayi iVenkile yeGolide yokuThengisa eFlushing.
Imirhumo yokunyaniseka ayinamatheli, nangona kunjalo, ikakhulu ngenxa yokuba iRedFarm ayizibonakalisi njengeyona nto ingeyiyo. Njengezinye iivenkile zokutyela, ezinje ngeABC Cocina kunye neMission Cantina, iRedFarm ifumana inkuthazo kwizidlo zakwantu kodwa ibathoba kamnandi kwinkcubeko entsha, eyahlukileyo kubemi kunye nokutshintsha ukuthanda. Lo ayingoElvis ocula u-Big Mama Thornton Inja ejikelezayo . NguStravinsky usebenzisa ingoma yakudala yaseRussia kwi Isiko leNtwasahlobo .
Olunye ukhuselo kukuba ukutya kwamaTshayina bekuhlala inkalakahla yoMntu oMhlophe okoko kwafika eMelika. Iqale ngexesha leGolide Rush kunye neeresityu zaseTshayina eSan Francisco ukulungiselela abantu baseNtshona abanesibindi kunye nabasebenzi abavela kwamanye amazwe. Ngama-1880, iNew York nayo yayineendawo zokutyela ezinje ngeChung Fah Low, echazwa njenge-Chinese Delmonico yaseNew York, kunye ne-hanghem ye-bohemian u-Mong Sing Wah, umdibaniso weMatt Street chop suey.
Kodwa esona siphumo sibi sokugxekwa kokungathembeki kukungabikho kokusesikweni akwenzayo kwingqondo kaMnu Schoenfeld, umpheki kodwa hayi indoda ekhitshini, kunye noMnu Ng, ngubani indoda ekhitshini.
UMnu Schoenfeld mhlawumbi ungumphengululi ovelele weso sixeko sokutya kwamaTshayina. Ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960, wawela kunye neqela labapheki abangamaTshayina ababebalekile e-China emva kokuwa kukaChiang Kai-Shek kwaye beza nokuphatha kakuhle ukupheka kwamaTshayina esingazange sakubona, utshilo uMnu Schoenfeld. Ehlala kwi-99th naseBroadway ngeloxesha, uMnu Schoenfeld wenza ubuhlobo nabantu abafana noDavid Keh, umqambi wenkukhu kaGeneral Tso, kunye noTsung Ting Wang weShun Lee Palace, owamfundisa iresiphi ye-raffiné yamatheko amaTshayina.
Olunye lolu lwazi lwenza imenyu yeRedFarm kwiitya ezinjengeenkuku ezixhonywe ngeshrimp ($ 27), ethi ngesiqholo sayo segolide senkukhu esikrwada esikwere umtya we-shrimp-kunye nenkukhu ubonakale ngathi yindawo enqamlezileyo . I-shrimpness ye-shrimp kunye nenyama enencasa yenkukhu, izinto ezimbini ezincedisayo, i-ping-pong enye kwenye eyonwabisayo. Ulusu lucekeceke kunokuba sisandi.
Ezinye, izitya ezixhaphakileyo, njenge sosi eyosiweyo eshushu nesomuncu ($ 12), zenziwa ngesondo nguMnumzana Ng ’ulwazi olungaqhelekanga nobuchule obufihlakeleyo. Isigidi seetweaks ezincinci, ezinje ngokujija umhluzi ngesitashi samazambane endaweni yesitatshi sengqolowa, kwaye ngesiquphe isitya ekudala sidilizwa njengexabiso lokuhamba kwe-simpleton kuyonwabisa. Isuphu eshushu nesinomuncu kaMnu Ng intle kakhulu ndifuna ibhedi yamanzi igcwaliswe ngayo, ke xa ndiyiphupha, ndifuna kuphela ukukhupha umngxunya, kwaye uphume. USheryl, uRick kunye nam siza kuphoswa kwizinto.
Kodwa ukufezekiswa komqondiso weRedFarm kukudilika kwayo kunye nenyama. Iidombolo, micron-thin and uniform uniform in thickness, ubukhulu becala yinto yabasebenzi, eyile Yao noMario, isibini samadoda amaTshayina abenza ekhitshini elingasemva iiyure ezisibhozo ngosuku, iintsuku ezintandathu ngeveki. Ngokuphathelele inyama, nokuba yinkuku, inyama yehagu okanye inyama yenyama, uMnu Ng wenza umdaniso ontsonkothileyo osekwe kwizithethe zaseTshayina nezaseNtshona apho afakwe khona kwisoyi kunye nepapaya marinade esentsha kangangeeyure eziyi-12 ukuya kweziyi-24, emva koko zityiwe, zipholile, zacolwa Igqityiwe yagqitywa, velvety kwaye emnandi ngobuqili, kwindawo etyiwayo oyityayo ngelixa ethetha ngenye into ngokupheleleyo okanye, engathethi, ayitye ngelixa ejonge iifowuni yakhe phantsi kwetafile.
Ukuphatha umntu uJohn Prine, isihogo umntu angaya njani kwiRedFarm ngokuhlwa, avuke kusasa angabinakho ukuthetha? Kuninzi ekumele ukukuthetha, kwaye kunqabile nokuba kubhekiswe kubo ngabantu abakutyayo kunokuba sisiphoso esikhulu.
Umnumzana Schoenfeld une-unsubtle, u-Rob Reiner-ish uburharha obuphazamisa ubuzaza bokutya kwakhe. I-Instagram igcwele imifanekiso yePac-Man dumplings ($ 12.50), isibheno seRedFarm esibonisa imibala yeedrimp eyalandelwa yipat-Pac eqhotsiweyo egcinwe yi-guacamole. Ayizizo zonke iivenkile zokutyela ekufuneka zinganxilanga, kodwa kunzima ukuthatha ukutya ngokungathandekiyo ukuba kujongeka ngathi kukwimenyu ye-IHOP yomntwana.
Ndikhathazekile kukuba iiseva zibonisa umdla omncinci wokuchaza okanye nokuchaza izitya, inxenye yayo, ndiqinisekile, kukuba akukho mntu ufuna amava okuhamba kwindawo yokutyela kodwa eyenza ukuba kube ngathi uMnu Schoenfeld akenzi ' Ndifuna ukuba iidiners zibone ngaphaya kweendonga zokutyela. Umnumzana Schoenfeld ngokwakhe undixelele ukuba ubona iRedFarm ikakhulu njengophawu lokutya, enombono weRedFarm isosi yesoya, iRedFarm rotisserie yenkukhu kunye neRedFarm miso yokuncamathisela ezivenkileni. Uluvo oluhle, kodwa andinakukunceda ukuba uzibuze ukuba wenza kakubi hayi nje kwinkcubeko athi uyayithanda kodwa abathengi abasebenzelayo, abaphuma ngaphandle komdla obanzi kukutya kwamaTshayina-kuphela ukuthembeka kwiRedFarm. Ukuba kuphela uMnu Schoenfeld unokufumana indlela yokwenza ukutya okumnandi kwaye asasaze intabalala yolwazi lwenkcubeko yakhe. Ngoku iyakuba yinto yokuthetha ngayo.
UKUHLELWA: ****
