Join us at Hana Makgeolli on Sunday August 27, Long Lunch will be serving sourdough cabbage pancakes as part of a set meal with salads, pickles and rice. These okonomiyaki are a crispy, custardy, gooey, chewy, deeply savory, sour ode to Chef Patch’s Grammy's humble, diasporic okonomiyaki, which rarely included more than raw cabbage and shoyu.
Long Lunch is a pop-up, which in spirit, is inspired by leisurely lunches that last forever; but it also happens to be a NYT Crossword Puzzle clue for the answer 'sandwich', 'sub', 'hoagie', or related. The food changes depending on the venue, utilizing set lunches, sandwiches, and okonomiyaki as ways to explore both lost and adaptive food-traditions from Patch’s grandma Yukie, who emigrated to South Carolina from Japan in the 50s; and exploring what modern diasporic Japanese-American cooking might look like.
