I recently spent a few months in California while travelling the West Coast. I discovered a Ramen restaurant and wanted to try it out, expect the line was about as long as black Friday lines. I was thinking, no way am I going to actually wait in this line but also curiosity was getting the better part of me. I ended up waiting for a little over an hour before making it inside the door where I was quickly given a paper menu with a highlighter and thankfully a host who helped me fill it out. After going through what seemed like a thousand choices I was seated at a table to wait for a waiter. Again, the choices continued but surprisingly the food came out very quickly. I guess you have to in order to keep up with those kind of lines. I was actually starving at this point but the food was so insanely fun, delicious and entertaining that I left feeling very pleased. This brought me to visit another Ramen restauraunt in my home town of Seattle. This time there was a line and the restaurant was packing us in but we were seated fairly quickly. I observed a very fun crowd of happy patrons. Long story short, a new series was born. The pop culture of Ramen. Here is an example of the first painting in the new series.
