"The “madame pho” at Madame Vo (The Very Unofficial Infatuation Best Dish Title in NYC) is rich and aromatic, with lots of warming spices that will make you question why cinnamon isn’t in more savory dishes. And while the baseline $20 bowl is full of sliced rare beef and meatballs, with all the usual suspect fixings, you really are missing out if you don’t get the $10 short rib add-on. It’s a giant, succulent dinosaur-style rib bone that’ll save you a trip to the pet store, because you’ll likely be taking at least part of your bowl home in a container." - will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, willa moore, carlo mantuano
