Los Angeles has a lot of ramen places.  Depending if you like tonkotsu (pork broth), tsukemen (dipping ramen), or even a good shoyu (soy sauce), everything comes in a bowl. Last year, Keizo Shimamoto created a ramen item that you can eat without a bowl.  His creation, what I call " An American Spin on a Japanese Classic ", was introduced and people lined up for this new ramen item.  Not just lines in New York and Los Angeles, but in Hawaii people showed up hours before the pop-up opened ...  There are a lot of copycats out there, my cousin showed me an ad for one yesterday, I had to tell her it's a knockoff.  Well, the Ramen Burger West Coast now has a L.A. home!
