"The Dish: Pineapple Pork Bun When we hear the words “edible gold,” we’re not thinking about ingestible metal, we’re thinking of Mei Lei Wah’s pineapple pork buns. For decades, the Chinatown bakery has been pumping out these pillowy buns with crackly yellow crusts on top. Break one open and you’ll find fatty char siu inside, and a pile of crumbs underneath you. The line can get long, but these $2 buns are absolutely worth 15 minutes of your time. " - bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
