  • Last week, Reina Scully ate her way through three of Japan's most recognizable ramen styles. But today, she's on a mission to see where ramen is going next. Her first stop is Niche, where chefs Frank Pinello, Mark Iacono, Carlo Carciotto, and Anthony Vitolo are ready to try mazemen, a saucy, brothless style of ramen. Chef Shigetoshi "Jack" Nakamura calls this dish "Japanese pasta"-but will his cheese and bacon-topped noodles satisfy some of NYC's most beloved Italian-American chefs? And later, Reina heads back to Ramen Shack to eat Keizo Shimamoto's infamous ramen burger one last time. From a discussion of ramen-stuffed pizzas and burritos, to an interview with 16-year-old ramen prodigy Josh Reisner, Reina is seeing how ramen is taking new shape in NYC heading into 2020.

    An interesting fusion, both food cultures are mainly about the best ingredients done very simply, Sushi is often just the freshest top quality fish, some rice and either some sushi wrap or a dipping sauce or wasabi, a lot of street food is just marinaded or glazed meat on a stick. A lot of pasta dishes are just a couple of ingredients, take some buff moz, slice of tomato, a basil leaf and a little olive oil and you've got a side dish or starter or salad or snack, Pasta Limone is an absolute classic and one of the most basic pasta dishes.

    That double smoked bacon with cheese is a no brainer awesome tasty combination! With that salmon "Oyako" ramen is amazing and will be my favorite hands down.
    Ramen burger is a challenge imo since the ramen can turn out to be quite soaky after a while, but in this case, it seems to be not the case, I wonder why if it has anything to do with the portion mixture of ramen?
    About ramen becoming as an usual food, it will take some time since in American culture, ramen is not the common food (yet), but given it enough time, it will have its place inside of American culture. Fusing both food culture is the best way to bring out the best from both side, I am looking forward for ramen to grow in everywhere around the world. By the end of it, I am a huge fan of noodle~

    I suggest that gochi gang goes to Hawaii. There is such a rich Japanese history there that is definitely reflected in the cuisine.
