Fascinating. I love the various cooking show series on Netflix. This is of that quality or better. I hope he is able to reopen a Ramen Shack or equivalent. I was intrigued by the whole process of making Ramen. It is almost a joke in the US as a quick, cheap meal for college kids. What he produced was a real meal.
I've heard good things about the Netflix cooking shows, but I've never seen one because I'm not on Netflix, alas.
A lot of work and love go into making good ramen. An old movie from the 1980s, "Tampopo," lovingly portrays the ramen-making process while telling a great story about a widow who gets help from two heroic cowboy types in order to get her noodle restaurant up and running.
Here in Korea, true ramen is hard to find. Most Koreans just eat the packaged crap that you referred to in your comment. A real shame.
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE? Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
