The Best Restaurants In The Seaport & Fort Point - Boston - The Infatuation
"Walking into Nowon, a New York-based Korean spot from Top Chef competitor Jae Lee, you might think you stepped off the manicured Seaport sidewalk and back into the late 90s. Music videos by rap icons like The Notorious B.I.G. play on a projector over the kitchen, and tigers in tracksuits watch you from the walls. The star of the short menu is their famous dry-aged beef burger, an eight-ounce behemoth of a patty dripping with kimchi special sauce and loaded with American cheese, pickles, and onions. But don’t overlook the small plates, especially the chopped cheese rice cake. The chewy bites have a lacy crunch and are swaddled in a cheesy, meaty sauce that’s like bolognese but unbuttoned, chest hair out. Pickled jalapeños bring a vinegary pop. You can get the “extraordinary” tater tots two ways: curry-spiced, or, our choice, tossed in honey-butter, drizzled with labneh, and with shreds of nori on top." - tanya edwards, grace kelly
