"With their stripes of bright yellow lemon aioli, these mussels—stuffed with rice and ’nduja—look like they’re smiling up at you. After you eat your first one, you’ll be smiling back. They’re briny, savory, and rich, and we’d like to apply the aioli to every future sandwich we eat. Reservations are released a week in advance at 9am, but the restaurant welcomes walk-ins at the bar. We lined up outside at 4:30pm on a Thursday, and came back for a bar seat at 7pm." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
