027 SoCal Ramen Hunting with Ramen Fiend, Ramen Zac, and Yolodiabetic

March 04, 2022 • Ramen Schmoe

I got hit up by Shawn aka Ramen Fiend asking why I don't do an episode about Ramen Hunters in the US? This Schmoe was at a loss, and asked him to round up some friends to educate me on the Southern California Ramen scene.

Ramen Fiend is joined by Ramen Zac, and Raphael (aka Yolo), and they drop knowledge on the evolution of Ramen in Southern California.

Learn about the first dedicated Ramen shop that started in the 70's, along with the different trends that defined SoCal Ramen through the decades. The fellas share their top three must visit shops in the greater Los Angeles area, with the notable exclusion of Ramen Shack since that should be obvious to any self-respecting hunter.

All in all, a good chance to nerd out on an area I need to visit.
