My imaginary menu

  Have you ever daydreamed from within your current job about having a job that engages your passion?

Milk Street Japanese Noodles Page

If you are like me and appreciate scientific thought and processes as it pertains to food you have no doubt tuned in to America’s Test Kitchen from time to time, whether on PBS or that short stint on Amazon Prime.  They do the dirty work for you and fail on your behalf. They would then…

Ramen Heads the movie: Austin Premier and Q&A

What a night! Was able to see Ramen Heads at its Austin Premier and was treated to a panel discussion with some ramen chefs and celebrity moderator. The movie was exactly what I hoped to see.
