Momofuku Milk Bar

The Crack Pie from Momofuku Milk Bar is exactly what the name says.  "CRACK!"  Although I believe the name was derived from the cracked buttery oatmeal cookie crusty surface of the pie, in my opinion it's more of a double meaning because it's more addictive then crack!  I had one bite and was hooked on phonics.  Momofuku has been blowing up like mofo.  Getting write ups and appearing in everything!  Since 2004 Momofuku has been featured in Today Show, Martha Stewart, Jimmy Falon, Nightline, Charlie Rose, Regis and Kelly, New York Magazine, Time Out, New York Times, Food and Wine, GQ, Time, Wall Street Journal, Michelin Guide and Bon Appétit.

With the success of Momofuku, owner David Chang decided to open up a dessert spot.  He noticed the talent of one time employee of Ssäm Bar, 28 year old Christina Tosi, and decided to give her the opportunity to run Momofuku Milk Bar.  You gotta try the Crack Pie!  But some other Milk Bar originals that you should check out are the Compost Cookie (Potato chips, pretzels, coffee grounds, chocolate chips, graham crumbs, butterscotch chips) and Cereal Milk!  They also do wedding cakes! 

Now with two location in the city.  You can enjoy Milk Bar in the East Village and Midtown.  You can even place a order online for pickup or shipping.  If you're interested in Milk Bar, sign up for their newsletter .  For those of you that can't make it up to NYC, you can try to make the delicious crack pie yourself with the recipe!  Although I doubt it's going to come out anything like the real deal!
