The New York Times published momofuku’s bo ssam recipe last month, and I have every intention of giving it a try in my own kitchen. But lucky for me, I had the opportunity to give the original a try this past weekend at momofuku ssam bar.

I was with a party of 16, and we were served enough food for 30 (including two whole pork butts). At $55 per person (min. 10 person reservation), the family-style bo ssam prix fixe is actually quite economical for a gourmet meal.

Now that I’ve opened the floodgates on scallops, it is quickly becoming an all-around favorite. Since the retirement of my dear sweet corn angnolotti, I’ve been on the hunt for a new seasonal favorite at Graffiato (other than zeppoles because I can’t eat dessert for dinner on a regular basis!). I enjoyed the duck cannoli special earlier in the fall, but I think the scallops with sunchoke, “citrus,” and almonds takes the cake. The pork belly with cannellini beans and ham (photo not shown because it was in my belly before said photo could be taken) is also a strong contender. On this particular visit, I also had my first taste of wild boar:

This weekend, I escaped the hustle and bustle of the city with a trip to Virginia wineries just off 66. It was beautifully sunny and a perfect day to see the changing fall foliage.

Also changing this season is the menu at Graffiato. Although I was sad to see the sweet corn agnolotti go, I am happy to see the infusion of pumpkin into the risotto and caramel accompanying the zeppoles. The pork belly might be my favorite new addition, and the new roasted potato gnocchi with wild mushrooms and truffle is a delicious indulgence. Top Chef fans, never fear–the pepperoni sauce has survived the menu change.
