Ramen Lord Challenged Me To Do This... (I'm terrified)
Рет қаралды 267,696
Күн бұрынI flew to Chicago for a Special Ramen Project with Mike Satinover aka Ramen_Lord on Reddit. Exclusive NordVPN deal here : NordVPN.com/frenchguy It's risk free with Nord's 30 day money-back guarantee.
This is Day 1 of the pop-up restaurant that we will be hosting. We'll be serving ramen bowls for 300 people. The pop-up will be hosted in an American Korean restaurant called Perilla, in Chicago. It is my first time hosting an event like this. That is why I am nervous. In this episode we had to focus on the noodles and prepare 300 portions. That is a lot. Luckily for us, Mike has a YAMATO ramen noodles machine in his living room.
Big thanks to Mike for being part of this !

That looked like a good brisket, but if you did a BBQ series based off what you had in Chicago you'd be laughed off the internet. They're imitating Texas style BBQ. If you're going to do the series you want to check the Texas Monthly BBQ ratings. Currently, Goldee's is #1, but anyone in the top 10, or even top 50, can walk you thru the ritual. Someone on that list will do a collab for the free publicity, too. Just be ready for the Talladega Nights references. :) Kansas CIty has a vinegar-tomato based sauce, the Carolina's sauce is more mustard-y, and the Memphis style leans on spices for the dry rub or a brown sugar-tomato based sauce for the wet. You might find sauce at a place in Texas, but it shouldn't need it. Texas BBQ is pure skill of the pit master.

While this is kind of awesome (the home noodling), is it legal? By this I mean: does he have food inspectors come to make sure the place meets restaurant standards for selling food to the public? I was thinking about it the entire time, and then at 11:38 I saw him pick up a noodle that was touching the floor and put it in the box and I cry. Am I too much of a germaphobe... maybe. 😭

Great learning about Ramen_Lord. I love his ramen production in the living room. Unfortunately I don't eat or serve enough ramen to have a machine like that so I have to do with my Mercato. I do make a larger portion dough and divide it into single portions. Then wrap it in a plastic bag and take out one portion at a time. By the end of the week, the last dough has fermented and gone a lot softer than the first dough. This is very interesting and adds a surprise to ramen eating every time I make my dough. My doughs are rarely the same. Sometimes barley mix and sometimes rye mix. I wish I could curl my ramen like that cool machine in the living room did. Looking forward to seeing the next episode, Alex.
