Where another actor would have made Monk Keerrraazy with a capital K, Shalhoub portrays him with cool-jazz reserve as a Woody Allenish nerd, which makes the character both funnier and more affecting...
...favorites is jianbing, or fried pancake. Crepe batter and an egg are expertly fried on a cast-iron hot plate. Then the pancake is sprinkled with a variety of pickled vegetables, slivered seaweed, hot sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame seeds. Finally, working with callused heat-resistant fingers, the chef wraps the whole steaming concoction around a crispy strip of fried dough. It's heavenly...
