Title: minor socal meetup this weekend
Post by: mkawa on Wed, 11 September 2013, 23:49:01
demik and i are going to the ramen fest in torrance this weekend. either saturday or sunday (depending on when my other friend wants to go). i may go both days to make sure i sample a full bowl from all the vendors (except maybe fujiya, blech). you may be thinking "WHAT IS THIS, RAMEN FEST?@!?!" this link should answer all your questions, and if it doesn't, tough luck.

anyway, demik and i are going to be there eating fresh delicious hand-pulled noodles. if you're going too, let us know so we can make fun of^H^H^H^H^H meet up.

well, I can't go on Saturday or Sunday. 

anyway, soba noodles are still better than ramen.

This Canadian guy kind of explains it, in case you've never experienced the divine pleasure that is soba:  http://rogereatslikeapig.com/blog/2013/04/18/cocoron-vs-soba-ya/

But Fontana has the Speedway?  Where else are you going to be able to see so many rednecks in one place in California?
