The Best Thing I Ate This Week: Korean Bao Buns & Chocolate Budino

Korean Chicken Bao Buns at Sugar
I am, admittedly, a sucker for a good chicken tender. I am also a sucker for a good rooftop bar. The limits of my suckerage, however, end with those lovely $18 “upgrades” to Miami Spice menus, which completely defeat the purpose of Miami Spice. This made the Spice menu at Sugar particularly alluring, because their Korean Chicken Bao Buns are some of the top tenders in the city, and require no additional spending. The tangy, salty, peppery sauce is an elevated take on traditional Buffalo, with the chicken’s hot, crispy breading contrasting the chewy bao. I wish they’d use white meat instead of thighs, but looking down on Miami from 40 stories up I wasn’t complaining. As Miami Spice meals go, this was one of my better experiences. —MM
