Fatty Crab

October 10th-

On the most beautiful October evening, after attending (with the Geeters) the Food Network's "Meatpacking Uncorked", a wine tasting event where you traveled on foot (me in my new Steve Madden black patent leather peep toe booties) in the Meatpacking district from fabulous boutique to fabulous boutique.....(I'm talking Diane Von Furstenberg....who gave out entire splits of champagne.... and Stella McCartney)......which...can I say?......was my absolute heaven....or maybe a tiny bit of torture, since I am trying my very best to be frugal....and something in every store was screaming out, "Buy me! You know you love me!" But to be honest, the excitement of discovering all these beautiful jewels in places I dare not allow myself to frequent was so magnificent, I could scarcely contain myself! Wine and champagne in my hand all night and shopping?! The only way this could have been better is if they gave you free clothes at each store! I was a droolin' like the dog from "Turner and Hooch"! Anyway.......on to the food......we were all hungry and tipsy by the end of the evening, so we decided to grab a bite to eat at Fatty Crab. Nathan and I had never been there and the Geeters highly recommended it. First, we had the mussels....good....nothing unusual. Then we had the shrimp wrapped in lettuce.....ok. The pork buns were next.....now we're talking! These were finger lickin' good! After that, the grand finale....the Short Rib Rendang.......the most tender delicious meat served with rice. Oh my god- who knew I would love pork so much?! This was amazing- my favorite dish of the evening! So.....Fatty Crab.....muy bueno!
