[melissa hom] orkin at noodle bar in july"Alright, the menu is official so start salivating and get a ticket for tonight, only a handful left!" is how an earlier tweet from Ivan Orkin read, in which he revealed the menu to tonight's pig butchering demonstration/5-course tasting/sake and sochu pairing taking place at the Breslin.

New Yorker's had a chance to taste Orkin's food earlier this year at two seperate "invasions" he did of Momofuku Noodle Bar.  Tonight's another shot at the recipe's Orkin's been perfecting at Sun Noodle in Teterboro, NJ.

The event serves to introduce Orkin's New York brethren (Orkin's a Long Island native) to the food that he will be serving when his Tokyo ramen export lands somewhere in downtown Manhattan early next year.  Tonight, April Bloomfield will do the butchering, Ivan Orkin will do the cooking.

Here's this from theBrown Paper Tickets page, where you can also get your ticket(s), "While living and working in Tokyo, Ivan closely followed the New York City restaurant scene and noticed the growing popularity of April's restaurants. Some of his dishes have been inspired by her cooking style and how he imagined she would prepare ramen at The Spotted Pig."

Dinner's tonight at 6pm.  Act fast.  Slurp Loudly.
