    It was so satisfying to watch you enjoy some of the food in my country. Thanks for giving insight into what the regular people of Korea might eat on a typical day. I've personally eaten in 4 of the 7 places you visited and I have to say, you are quite the food connoisseur!

    Your remark of why you like SK, I can't imagine you'd visit any country that didn't have amazing food !
    After watching you eat tons (literally) of noodles, I bought every Ramen in my small town. I always thought they were versions of spaghetti, but gladly have been educated.
    Whatever happened to your Texas Restaurant ?
    Keep on eating, you lucky guy ! I'm 70 & cannot eat super spicey foods anymore. I raised bell peppers this year, sadly missing my spicy pepper plants😢...lol.

      Cause the soup is quite thick and much richer than normal ramen soups. So it’ll be quite salty if you pour the noodles inside the soup

Only movement must remain constant. The immovable object has one, it cannot move. Therefore, the unstoppable force is redirected.
