If there’s anything you need to know about this dish, it’s this: Bourdain loved it. Of course, the customers chose it as our knockout dish before he did. When we first started, we would sell the lamb on its own, but it would sell out so quickly, we couldn’t even make noodles with it. It didn’t help that this has to be cooked in small batches with the strongest fire possible, evenly browning the small, manageable pieces of lamb so every morsel of meat is properly seasoned, every bite a punch
