“It’s been quite a long time since I’ve eaten chicken that combines both bombast and melancholia. General Tso’s has succeeded in doing just that. There isn’t one single piece of chicken that doesn’t bask in its own shadow—near midnight—swooning and singing.”

 

 

 

 

 

“There’s so much depth and precision in this breakfast taco that it feels like the culmination of a life’s work. What wonderful providence for us that it’s only 10 AM.”
