Fatty Crab: Great Meal, Bad Value

Steve and I celebrated our friend Jerome's birthday, with 8 of us meeting up at Fatty Crab last night. On the whole, the meal was great, but I was a little put off by the price to portion ratio.

We consumed:

Pork belly and pickled watermelon, very good-- loved the bite of the watermelon after the fat-- but $15 for 4 pieces of pork belly and some watermelon? I was at the Union Square farmers market yesterday and saw a belly for $17. While I understand paying a premium for both, that's damn expensive for what was so cheap only recently (I guess pork belly has jumped the shark, unless you buy it for $4 a pound in C-town). We had to order 2 of these so everyone could get a piece.
