Slurp! Seriously it changes a lotta stuff

Cleaning up (boring, I know)
So if you have been keeping track I have been doing one style of ramen each week. That means some poor animal is sacrificed to the gods of ramen. Bones are split and blanched. Fat is rendered and flavored. Broth is simmered and stored. Eggs are in constant motion. Toppings are crisped up and seasoned….

Ramen Heads movie
I can’t wait for this movie. The featured ramen chef was a disciple of Yamagishi and shares his obsessive drive to create the perfect ramen. I have long wondered what lurked below the surface of a bowl of dipping broth from Taishoken. Now we get to see the next evolution. Just take a look at…
