I had just finished a bowl of Ramen noodles when I read this.

I have also:

subsisted on Ramen

been severely financially impacted when Ramen fluctuated between 3/dollar and 10/dollar

hit the lowest of lows and stolen a case of Ramen out of a parked car*

contemplated writing a "101 Ramen" recipe book

somehow not grown to hate Ramen; in the best of times between steak and lobster, I still stock up on the noods.

Thank you, Mr. Ando.

The subject of the original documentary came up the other day, and I mentioned that it could be viewed in its entirety online, but it's no longer available, so instead, here's the classic substitute.

Next time I'm in Atlanta, I must stop at The Vortex. The food's reportedly good, but whatever, I just want to spend my money there to show support. I'd love to work in this environment, or at least see more of it.
Check out what's on the back of their menu:

The intent is to cut down on drunken driving by making it less tempting to pop open a beer after leaving the store.

A good way to kill a beer's taste, cooling, warming, and cooling again. Way to go Senator Alter, R-High Ridge, I won't forget this..
