What they will cook for us:
The Big MOE: Char-siu BBQ brisket with a mango, carrot, red onion slaw with sambal for a bit of spice deep-fried to order and served with a house-made chinese aoili for dipping. The brisket is braised in garlic, ginger, five- spice, soy sauce and various asian sauces and slow-cooked for four hours.
The Reuben: Sliced pastrami on MOE slaw, served with housemade Russian dipping sauce. A total reinvention of the classic pastrami sandwich.
