Burger Bash 2014...

Welcome to the bash...

Such a beautiful day for burgers...

Bash...

And the beach.

Scoping out our booth.

"Double Wagyu Patty"!!!

Assembling our Team Ramen Burger Miami.

It was crazy and we were all working so hard that I didn't have time to take anymore pictures until Rachael Ray stopped by. Lots of great comments from everyone who tried the Ramen Burger. Someone even came up to me and said we were "doing God's work!" Haha awesome. Apparently we had the longest line too.

But with all the love from the people, unfortunately we couldn't get any love from the judges.

Overall it was an awesome experience. Thank you Burger Bash, Burger Maker, and Sun Noodle. And Amstel Light for all the beer.

But we couldn't have done it without these guys. The FIU student volunteers were incredible. Thank you so much.

Me and Joshua Stone from Fat Sal's in Los Angeles.

And the Judges Award winner of the night--Shake Shack...with my secret shoyu sauce.

Everything tastes better with my secret shoyu sauce.

Smorgasburg Week 2 - Shoyu Ramen Burger Encore...

Back by popular demand! It's official!! See you at Smorgasburg on Saturday!!! Thanks again to Sun Noodle for letting us use their booth!

And this week's magic number? 300. See you there!!!

Ramen Burger™ Debut...

Day 1369:

Good morning, America!!!

The day has finally come.

I can't believe how fast news can travel. In just two days, the Ramen Burger™ went from dream to internet superstar before I even sold a single one.

And then we were asked to be on Good Morning America. Wow!

But as exciting as all this was and is, we still had Smorgasburg to do.

And before we could barely say irasshaimase, the line already looked like this.

It was truly amazing. And with an initial limit of 100 Ramen Burgers™, which became 150 after we stayed up all night prepping more, Mr. Pink ended up being the last lucky one.

Thank you all for braving the rain and standing in the long a** line for my creation. For those that had a chance to try it, I hope it was worth it. And for those that got turned away, I apologize profusely.

We learned a lot today and IF we do get to do this again someday we'll be better prepared.

A BIG thanks to my awesome team. Hey Kris I can't see your eyes!

Stay tuned for more announcements, more flavors, more events, more t-shirts, and more fun. Once again, thank you for all the great buzz.

Thank you Sun Noodle! Thank you Burger Maker! Thank you PleatPak! Thank you Burger Conquest!

Ramen Dreams forever!!!

Smorgasburg Week 1 - Shoyu Ramen Burger™...

This Saturday, August 3rd, the Shoyu Ramen Burger™ will make its debut at Smorgasburg in Willamsburg, Brooklyn. Limited to only 100 Ramen Burgers™, this fresh USDA Prime Burger Maker patty glazed with a secret shoyu sauce and sandwiched between scallions, arugula, and two craftily formed buns made from Sun Noodle's freshly cut ramen noodles won't last long. Trust me, you will want to try this. So please, if you are in the neighborhood or have nothing to do on Saturday...IRASSHAIMASE!!

And don't forget to pick up a t-shirt!! Designed by yours truly! haha.

And just as a quick tutorial, your Ramen Burger™ will come wrapped in this amazing technology called PleatPak.

Once you open it, just tear out the white sheet and begin chlurping! (chomp+slurp=get it?)

The mess stays in the PleatPak and not on your hands. And feel free to drink the leftover soup!!

A big thanks to everyone involved that made this happen. See you on Saturday!!

The next big thing...

Dear friends,

I truly appreciate the support that you've given me--the uplifting comments, the encouraging emails, and the overwhelming messages of support. What happened is unfortunate, but it is now in the past and I'm ready to move on. So let me ask you, are you ready to move with me?

For years I've obsessed over a certain food item and always wondered how I could make it work. Yes I've been obsessed with ramen since I was a kid, but shockingly that's not the food item I'm referring to (well at least half of it isn't). If you've followed along closely to my blog, you may have seen it pop up every now and then. But even then I didn't have the tools to make it what it is now. So without further ado, let me introduce to you my new obsession:

The Ramen Burger™

A famous friend once told me "A burger isn't a burger if it ain't beef!" So I got inspired and created a REAL Ramen Burger™. And now it's time to feed it to you! 

Not only did I grow up loving ramen, I also grew up loving burgers.

So stay tuned for an announcement of where you can get it!!
