Today's guests are Chef Daisuke Watanabe of Ramen Feel in Tokyo, Japan and Chef Erik Bentz of Cafe Mochiko in Cincinnati, OH with a special appearance by everyone's favorite apprentice, Jeffrey The Wang. On January 8, 2023, two incredible ramen chefs from two completely different backgrounds came together through the power of ramen and made our ramen dreams come true. I was fortunate enough to be there and it was undeniably a top 5 ramen experience in my life up until now. This is the story of how an 8-course collab popup came to be, told by the chefs themselves.

An episode that really needs no introduction. Mike Satinover aka the Ramen Lord joins the podcast to talk about the brand new noodle machine that has taken residency in his cush Chicago apartment.
