Lunch 2023 (!)

[small_h]

How are the lines these days?

[Google_Gourmet]

None. Restaurant was mostly empty at 2pm. Ginza, Tokyo.

Oh! Hah. I’m very Manhattan-centric. I thought you meant this:

IPPUDO NY

Looks great!

[Google_Gourmet]

Looks great!

Very good. How’s the Ippudo in Manhattan?

Tokyo. Japan. 2023

We’ve been to quite a few Ichiran Ramen shops in Japan and have enjoyed every bowl. That said, Ippudo Ramen is fast becoming my favorite. [image] Servers are courteous and efficient. Tablet ordering with English allows us Gaijin to fully explore their menu, no FOMO here. [image] Ippudo offers combination sets. We both ordered Cha Siu with extra firm noodles. Hers came with Gyoza and Rice (???). Mine with Mentaiko (FishRoe) on Rice. Side orders of Soft Boiled Eggs a nice add…

Busy! Hence my query. Also very solid. Won’t change your life, also won’t make you sorry you came. Dependable.

Brisket from a newish 'cue place in town. Meat’s very flavorful & smoky, mac coulda been creamier, slaw was servicable, i.e. not too sweet.

Strammer Max - open faced sandwich with ham and fried egg on buttered toast. With some tomatoes and cornichons.

Atavistic lunch. Salisbury steak with mushroom sauce and creamed spinach. Tonight, I’m really looking forward to a new episode of the Ernie Kovacs Show.

“Kale pork rice” from a Korean stand at the farmer’s market. DELICIOUS.
