[Chewy Pork Belly](http://www.gourmet.com/food/2009/01/chewy-pork-belly)
> “Just so you know,†he said, “The pork belly is supposed to be chewy. I wanted to add a note of authenticity here. In Asia, people eat with the front teeth. Americans eat with the back teeth.†While I chewed and enjoyed the next piece of pork, I thought about my front teeth. They do seem to go woefully underused.
I’m really happy with the way this little piece came out. I got schooled.
Mm, reminds me I need to go back up to Vancouver soon and snag more of my aunt’s chewy pork belly zongzi…
I was kinda underwhelmed by Monsoon East when Danika and I tried it a week ago.. Sure, we just sat in the bar and ate Happy Hour stuff, but it really didn’t do it for me.
Yeah, I like this little piece, too! I like the last line.
This reminds me I need to go up to Vancouver and snag some of Laurel’s aunt’s chewy pork belly zongzi.
Sweet last line, best in Gourmet I’ve read in a long time.
Thanks, Cheryl, that means a lot.
