    Ep. 50 - Ramen Feel X Cafe Mochiko

    Today's guests are Chef Daisuke Watanabe of Ramen Feel in Tokyo, Japan and Chef Erik Bentz of Cafe Mochiko in Cincinnati, OH with a special appearance by everyone's favorite apprentice, Jeffrey The Wang. On January 8, 2023, two incredible ramen chefs from two completely different backgrounds came together through the power of ramen and made our ramen dreams come true. I was fortunate enough to be there and it was undeniably a top 5 ramen experience in my life up until now. This is the story of how an 8-course collab popup came to be, told by the chefs themselves. Please listen when you get the chance.

    Ep. 47 - Mike Satinover aka the Ramen Lord unedited and unabridged.

    An episode that really needs no introduction. Mike Satinover aka the Ramen Lord joins the podcast to talk about the brand new noodle machine that has taken residency in his cush Chicago apartment. Mike and I have been friends for years now and it's always a pleasure to listen to him talk about ramen in such a brain-stimulating way. Unedited and unabridged, as it should be. Thanks Mike!

    Ep. 46 - Kodaiko Ramen and Executive Chef Tak Abe

    In this episode I interview my good friend Tak Abe from Kodaiko Ramen in Sacramento, CA. Tak and I met in Tokyo during my Bassanova days and I have been one of his biggest supporters ever since. As a hapa (half Japanese-half American) he approaches ramen with respect from two cultures and loves to create new bowls without boundaries. A great conversation with a great friend. Please visit Kodaiko when visiting Sacramento and tell Tak I sent ya.

    Ep.44 - Ramen Inspired Ramen at Menya Rui in St. Louis, Missouri

    On today's episode, I welcome Steven Pursely from Menya Rui in St. Louis, Missouri.  You may not know this but Steven has been studying ramen for close to a decade and has patiently weaved his way of ramen-making into one of the most anticipated shop openings of 2022. Menya Rui is a serious "craft" ramen shop where everything, including noodles, is made in-house.  Steven's journey invokes memories of my own and it was a pleasure to find out more about him and what the future holds for ramen in the midwest and beyond. Follow Steven and Menya Rui: https://www.instagram.com/menyarui_stl Mentioned in this episode is the film Ramen Dreams by Michael McAteer. https://youtu.be/oeFEeJi91Kk Music by Ariel Loh http://lohmusic.com (https://www.instagram.com/lohariel)
