iberico bar: true lard leaves no traces

thumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail imagethumbnail image

Anyone who knows me well will likely know of my affection for Spanish cuisine, a passion which rivals and in many ways, surpasses even my love for ramen. Admittedly, I don’t eat noodles nearly as much as I used to. A steady diet of Mediterranean influence - fish and tomatoes, olive oil and beans,has replaced a lot of my gonzo noodle slurping in recent months. In part this has to do with health; all those fats and carbs have to go somewhere, and as relatively young as (I’d like to think) I am, it’s never too early to cut back on the calories and perhaps spare a few arteries in the process.

Ikemen is now open. "What?" you say. The hot new thing to hit the Los Angeles slurping scene is a heavyweight that has thus far flown low, low, low under the radar, the product of one Sean Nakamura, yes, that one, he of Ramen California fame. When disquieting reports of Nakamura-san's mysterious abdication of the south Torrance throne began making the rounds last month, I was inundated with requests for more information, as if I alone had the inside track to all the noodlings-on in Tinseltown.

cupped diddle


There's a lot of Japanese and ramen-related ephemera out there on the web. I am typically too lazy to post try to keep things original here most of the time, but about ten friends this morning requested that I put this on the site. Don't thank me, thank this guy...

the pork bone primaries

Yahoo! Japan is currently running a contest where users can vote on a new Cup Ramen flavor to be produced by Maruchan. Your candidates are essentially "Grilled Shrimp Ramen," "Ultimate Spicy Ramen," "Extremely Thick Ramen," "Simple is Best Ramen," "Double Taste Ramen," and "European Soup Ramen," in that order. "Ultimate Spicy?" How disappointing. Sounds like American-style marketing to me. Now where did I put my Flamin' Hot Cheetos?
