This week’s episode of The Meat Show finds host Nick Solares in Manhattan’s East Village to eat a dish that he considers the perfect bite of pork. Tuome is a New American restaurant with strong Asian influences. Chef-owner Thomas Chen leverages both his fine dining experience — he’s a vet of Eleven Madison Park — and his Chinese-American heritage to produce a truly unique dish. Chen takes a pork belly through a three day, multi-step process that transforms it into a dish that evokes classic Chinese dishes like barbecued spare ribs and Peking duck, yet is completely new. Watch the episode above to see Chen makes the dish from scratch and then stick around for Solares’ tasting notes.
