That's right you told me about him. I'll give that guy some props he's lost some noticeable weight since his show initially went on the air. He seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Like I said, he eats a lot of food, some of it is delicious looking but then he gets all crazy with some of the "bizarre" stuff.

^ Zimmern was in the New York episode... Not so subliminal advertising.

In your face advertising, I'd say.

Every time I go to Costco I have to avoid that aisle where the chips are, else I get caught in its inescapable gravitational pull... :sweat:

I don't even wanna see that aisle from 5 aisles away. Dangerous.

Miyata Menji, The "In-N-Out of Ramen," Opens on Sawtelle Tomorrow
By Hadley Tomicki

Miyata Menji's KK100

Ramen is suddenly big business on Sawtelle and now we know which new tsukemen spot will take over the space formerly occupied by Giant Robot's Gr/Eats in West L.A. Miyata Menji will debut up here tomorrow, with plans to skim some overflow from popular lunchtime neighbor Tsujita Artisan Noodle House. The L.A. Times reports that this new eatery comes from the food-obsessed city of Osaka via a Japanese comedian named Tetsuji Miyata, who calls his place "the In-N-Out of ramen" due to a simple menu bearing just two items: Tonkotsu pork ramen with terriyaki beef and fried tomatoes and the aforementioned "dipping ramen" with anchovy, minced pork, croutons, and an option of grated cheese. The bowls sport names of advanced Terminator models, with offerings of a T2G-D and KK100, along with some expected sides. Brose the menu and website online, which will be easier if you have a working command of Japanese or simply love vintage J-pop.

Miyata Menji, 2500 Sawtelle Blvd. West L.A. 310-312-3929.

^ Sawtelle is turning into Ramen Row, huh? :mrgreen:

Beats Tabacco Row.

Yeah so on Sawtelle there is Asahi Ramen, Tsujita LA, Ramen Jinya, and now this new joint. That's just off the top of my head...
