Steak is literally cow with salt. Some recipes add garlic salt.

It's cheap as fuck to make. Have some perspective, please.

This is ignorant as all hell; steak is expensive and typically a loss leader at most restaurants who hope you pair it with apps and drinks.

It's pretty clear james is a cheapass know-it-all, breh. Don't expect much insight or experience here lol.

Bruh, come with me to Uruguay and Ill show you what a fucking steak is.

Have fun paying for your american corn slabs.

REAL TALK: Ramen is too expensive in the US. They've successfully turned it into something it was never meant to be. Ramen is cheap as shit and fast in Japan.

It's the new trend where something that actually has vegetables in it is treated as some fucking restaurant food.

This place opened up a year or two ago. I believe it’s either the US expansion of some Japanese ramen empire, or it was started by some big Japanese ramen chef. Either way, it’s a Big Deal and you have to stand in line for hours still. I wanted to try it and figured it would have cooled down by now.

I still love it, although I partly go for the karaage most places have.

It is humorous that it's Japan's version of bar food.

Afuri is a ramen chain my wife really likes whenever we go to Tokyo. They specialize in yuzu shio broth ramen, so it's much lighter than your standard tonkotsu pork broth. In any event, it's good and no different than any other ramen place. Stand in line, place your order, pay less than $10 sit at the counter, eat your ramen and leave.

Afuri opened up their first US location in Portland in 2016, so we went down one weekend for some beer and ramen. This place was ridiculous. Super fancy, line out the door of people trying to be seen and the exact same ramen was like $18. WTF.

Yeah I think that place is across the street from Modern Times;  I passed when I saw the line.

Yep, they're in the same building as Modern Times.

Flavor, marbling. Grass fed tends to have much less intra-muscular fat and a bolder, "beefier" flavor.

I had ramen at one of those fancy places once.

Paying $16 for soup was bad enough. Yeah, the pork belly was delicious, but it's fucking soup.

And then I had the nastiest explosive diarrhea I'd had in years. I should have taken a picture and demanded a refund.

[Mr. Gundam]

Aside from food poisoning, I have never had diarrhea from eating at a restaurant. I'm always blown away at people's stories of getting sick from literally every restaurant known to man.

A lot of places don't even make the broth from scratch, they just buy ramen base.

You'll notice they seem to think it's normal;  lot of people walking around with gastro-intestinal diseases that think every food making them fart and shit like mad is how everyone is lol.

Not normal for me. I dont have food allergies.

It was something in that truffle butter ramen.

But there's some fantastic wagyu beef there. Australian beef... I've had better steaks in Tokyo than in the Midwest.

Ugh; "truffle butter/oil" is something I definitely don't dig.

I'm not a fan of it, but to top it off the last time I had anything "truffle" flavored I ended up with the flu that night and it tasted terrible on the way out. 

I put truffle in quotes because my understanding is most truffle oil/butter dishes have little or no truffle in them.  I've had actual truffle before in dishes and liked it.

That's not true. Usually truffle butters are made with truffle paste that they buy from specialty purveyors. Truffle paste is chopped up black truffles packed in oil. Some restaurants that go through a lot of fresh truffles will chop up the scraps and make truffle butter like that, so nothing goes to waste.

Whatever the case may be, truffle butter does not belong in ramen

[I'm a Puppy!]

I hate all of you.

[Clockwork5]

Oh wow I'm not a junior any more. Don't worry, I'll still act like one.

Catch up with the times

In the great race to grow black truffles in Wine Country, Sonoma County has beaten out Napa Valley despite getting a later start.

Jackson Family Wines — owner of Kendall-Jackson, La Crema, Freemark Abbey and other wineries — just announced it harvested 17 of the prized fungi in the hazelnut and white oak orchard it planted and inoculated with Tuber melanosporum (Périgord truffle) spores in 2011 outside Santa Rosa, beating out similar efforts in Napa Valley. The harvest took place several weeks ago, and though the pioneering truffles themselves have disappeared in a cloud of risotto and Pinot Noir, it was the first successful harvest among several orchards betting on Wine Country as the world’s next great truffle-growing region.

“We’re getting ready. We’re going to hit it big,” said Fran Angerer of Alexander Valley Truffle Co., whose family has a truffle dog named Tuber and a truffle orchard in Geyserville that could be ready for a harvest next winter. “It’s going to hit, and when it hits, it’s going to change the truffle world. We are a big market here in the Bay Area, because we have so many restaurants.”

“For the amount of orchards we have right here, we won’t have to go any farther than Monterey to get rid of ’em,” he said. “Bay Area restaurants are gonna love having truffles that were in the ground this morning and on the plate this evening.”

The only time i've actually enjoyed beef was the time I had Korean BBQ in Sydney. Was sliced so thin it would just melt in your mouth. I think it was bull or something but honestly it could be fucking human meat for all I care, that meal was one of the few times in my life i've felt happy.

In Australia they have these $2 burgers at McDonalds, and that's what I eat for about half of my meals.
