[1]America's ramen obsession:
The latest video in the New Yorker's Annals of Obsession tracks the
transformation of ramen from a cheapo dorm room food to current
culinary obsession showing no signs of abating. I ate the cheap
ramen in college, dined at David Chang's Momofuku Noodle Bar early
on, and might pick ramen as my death-bed food,^[2]1 so I guess this
video was pretty much made for me. Honestly the toughest part about
where I live right now is the 2-hour roundtrip drive to eat ramen.

An evergreen topic for me for sure as living in Tokyo means I can swing
a dead cat and hit a dozen noodle shops.
