WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!... My friend

Laaaaadies and Gentlemen.
Clocking in at 10:00:03 AM on Monday morning, Mr. Broad successfully got us into hands down the most sought out NYC restaurant.
Momofuku Ko!
THAT'S MY HUSBAND!!!

It's not often I give a teaser. But wow.

Let's rewind and explain for a minute.

In order to secure a reservation at Ko this is the criteria:
Reservations online only.
Starting at 10AM. momo
Book 7 Days in Advance only.
Oh, and only 14 seats a night.

SO Mr. Broad and I have been trying to go since last May for his birthday. But naive NYers we were this is not the type of place you can plan for. So ever since then about once a week or so one of us would hastly try at 10AM to get reservations online. And about 10 seconds after 10AM all of the 14 reservations were released for the day.
GAAAAH.
So as you may have read we went to Momofuku Ssam Bar which takes no reservations just to try some of the genius known as David Chang.

AND THEN. Because it's been almost a game at this point that you're trying to beat, I mean we haven't expected to ACTUALLY GET IN!...Mr. Broad secured a SPOT!
And as explained in the NYTimes story, you can't fixate on a time. Actually, you don't have TIME to even look what time you are signing up for! You just start clicking away.

SO. We didn't get exactly the most IDEAL time then. This Sunday night. At 9:30PM. AAAAH. Mr. Broad and I are going to try to get another day because we have NO idea how long we'll have to wait again.


BUT. This begs the question. Do we suck it up... or do we try for another 9 months??

Thoughts? Comments?

when i saw the title of this post I thought you were mistakenly referring to the ohio state buckeyes....

Yeah b/c they're definitely not the champions. :-) Hee hee, I kid! That was a heartbreaking loss for you guys!

But I say suck it up sister! Have a late lunch/brunch and eat late. You got in, you have to go!!! Hopefully it's everything you imagined!

Embrace the late night eating...pretend like it's Spain where nobody eats until 10 o'clock!

Wow - I guess great friends think alike. I too thought this was reference to yet ANOTHER OSU bowl game defeat. However, CLEARLY I am not one to talk...only thing I can say is that South Carolina Gamecocks beat OSU in back to back bowl games in 01-02 but who is counting?

I digress...all in all - GO Sunday night, save the blog details for Monday, lord knows you stay up till midnight anyways. And do you really want to be black listed? I didn't think so.
