I wrote an ebook on ramen with my brother. It’s 120 pages. It’s free. You can find it here:

So this is the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten.

I hypothesize that the post-hoc application of tradition to a relatively new dish is an attempt to, in itself, establish tradition. That is, we are uncomfortable with ideas being unowned, and giving them cultural identity gives us, ourselves, cultural identity.

This is a fascinating thread and discussion about mistaken history in Italy’s food culture. Often we presume classics like carbonara or pizza have existed in Italy for ages, but the history is deeper than that.

[Doug Saunders @DougSaunders]

Most Italians had never heard of pizza before the 1950s. Carbonara was invented in the United States. Much of what we call classic Italian food — cacio e pepe, tiramisu — was probably invented in the 1960s. And other sacrileges! https://t.co/nacsI9wxCe

In ramen, as an example, you’ll find countless musing about how soups need to be “rich and creamy,” or noodles yellow and crinkly. But the dish’s origins in Japan are so new, arguably post WW2, it’s often impossible to define it beyond “has a ramen noodle in it.”

Big ramen news for Chicago. Mike Satinover, better known as Ramen_Lord on Reddit, is going to open a restaurant in Logan Square. https://t.co/D5DvrxPM3T

@CoryBracken 2023 is the best estimate I can give you. Hoping for summer/fall.

@SarahBecan Please help me do cool things

Breaking my twitter fast to post this bowl of miso ramen I made yesterday. So so good.

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]

Adding seasoning, a surface treatment, is no different than adding the seasoning after cooking. Seasoning molecules are too large to permeate the starch gel. You guys ALL overthink mac and cheese. Salt is fine. Add the seasoning to your sauce.

[shop normalculture.com @JeLaminah]

Y’all don’t season yalls water before y’all boil y’all Mac n cheese noodles and that’s why I can’t eat everybody’s food! 😂😂😂

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]

Just to let everyone know, I am indeed on Twitter still, I just don't tweet much because I assume folks don't want my banter here. Feel free to follow me on IG at @ramen__lord where I go crazy on noodles. For whatever reason, 40k people follow me there https://t.co/y39apfRhvp

@nickkokonas @elonmusk I think this a great thread, and thank you for the insight, but I can’t help but feel like, from a PE perspective, the decisions Must has made are… fast? It’s not that he trimmed the bloat; it’s that he did it after less than 3 weeks in the business.

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]

@nickkokonas This exact scenario happened when we were using Tock for my popups. Normally the flex approach works because the restaurant wasn’t completely booked. But our popups sold out, often very quickly, resulting in unoptimized distributions. I’ll take this feedback to the future!

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]

Didn’t get crushed by this one, phew.

@chibbqk1ng Noodles made by Nishiyama Seimen, the premier noodle manufacturer in Sapporo. Pretty interesting. Might have to check this out.

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]

@FartSandwich Honestly? Every time you posted about it it looked more and more delicious. I might be converted.

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]

@UTChicago Aiight I gotta take another look; I love some Reddit drama.

[Mike Satinover @msatinover]
