Brussel Sprouts has to be one of my favorite vegetables and side dishes. I never get sick of them roasted with a good sprinkling of salt. The above two places are my favorite for B sprouts. It's so good you are going to want to order one plate per person. Too bad the dish is a seasonal item on Momo's menu.

I make them at home quite often. I cut them in half, flash boil then give them a good drain, generously coat with olive oil and a good sprinkling of salt, laying them flat side down and broil or roast them in the oven depending on how much time I have and how hungry I am. I like them slightly charred and nicely browned. Momofuku does theirs with a diluted sauce of fish sauce and sugar with a sprinkling of chopped fresh mint. Alta does theirs with a sauce of balsamic and honey with apples, pistachio nuts, and creme fraiche. Both are amazing. If you find baby b sprouts or fresh ones still on the stalk get 'em because they are awesome!
