"The Lao burger at Taurus Ox has been such a success that it created the launch of Ox Burger. While the menu has more “traditional” smash burgers, the Lao is still the one to get. It has a pair of patties, smashed and seared but still juicy, accompanied by som moo —fermented pork belly that serves as a slice of Lao-style “bacon.” Pickled red onions lend acidity, sliced taro stems offer crunch, aged provolone cheese adds funkiness, jaew bong brings spiciness, tomato jaew provides umami punch, and cilantro cuts through all the richness. The net result: a most complex and captivating burger." - Jay Friedman
