The First Los Angeles Ramen Yokocho Fest, September 14-15

I want to go to there.



Holy moly. Hungry in Southern California? I just learned about the first Los Angeles Ramen Yokocho Fest, which touts itself as "the largest ramen show in the United States." You mean to tell me that ramen shows are a thing, and I've been missing out? People, don't you think I would want to know about this?

This one's going down September 14-15 at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center. Like the flyer says, free admission, free parking and all ramen for just eight bucks. Whaaaaaat. For more information, go here.

I Want To Go To There: The Ramen Burger

Is this the next New York food craze? Do you like ramen? Do like burgers? Yes and yes. Behold the ramen burger, a magical, somewhat unholy new food creation that combines a hamburger patty with a bun made from fried ramen noodles. Whaaaaaaaat. Where do I line up for this culinary craziness?
