BRIAN'S 100 Best '15

100 BEST ’15: PUMPKIN MISO RAMEN at RAMEN LAB

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2015…

SADLY, RAMEN LAB IS NOW CLOSED.

Pumpkin Miso Ramen at RAMEN LAB

Every month Ramen Lab brings in a different ramen chef to hone their craft. I was lucky enough to visit when Chef Luca Catalfamo was doling out bowls of noodle. He’s the chef behind Casa Ramen in Milan. I loved his unique veggie-friendly take on the noodles. The spring buckwheat noodles floated in a beautiful pool of vegetables and a game-changing pumpkin miso broth with a hint of truffle butter. It’s where Japan and Italy happily meet. Price: $15
