I would probably pay $15 for ramen if the restaurant was known to make phenomenal ramen. But more typically I pay $10 in cash for about a half gallon of pho and call it a day, because even as a theoretical phenomenally wealthy plantation owner I don't just go around lighting money on fire.

Lived in Japan.

The ramen joint I go to is on par. But more like $17 after add ons.

I correlate spaghetti with tomato sauce, and there's no tomato sauce in my ramen.

Ramen > pho, but I haven't really had good ramen outside of Hawaii and Japan because I mainly have lived in Texas and Florida otherwise. It's easier to find decent pho than ramen.

If ur pho place doesn't have an enormous pot (something you could cook a small child in, minimum) of gurgling broth with big ol' bones and haunches of meat sticking out within line of sight of the seating area then you might as well just grab Popeyes or something because you are not getting the Pho Experience, you are getting Blarzgh's Vegetable Soup.

In my experience, the best pho places also generally have a bunch of used heroin needles on the sidewalk outside but that may be coincidental.

For the past week I've had a hankering for a shrimp poboy dressed w/ ketchup and hotsauce like they make at Parkway tavern so I looked up a local "Cajun" restaurants and got their version of the classic sandwich and was immediately disappointed and homesick.

Many Vietnamese people I've spoken to tell me that it's easier to get good pho in North America than Vietnam, and North American pho on the whole is better than Vietnamese pho, due to the better availability of high quality beef, both for the rare slices in pho tai and bone for the broth. Cows raised for meat are not generally part of traditional east and southeast Asian cooking, because there is no tradition of cattle ranching there. "Beef" dishes were made with draft oxen butchered after they were no longer able to pull a plow and not good much much other than stew, slow roasts or jerky.

I'd seriously murder someone for some decent grits. My grandmother made them by scratch and I've never found a restaurant that served grits that even came close. Sadly, her recipe died with her :(

I'm on the local CJA panel in my district and I've noticed that everyone is a lot less punctual with things since the shutdown. Our normally punctual AUSA's assistants are regularly dropping the ball on timely handing over discovery now. Turns out if you don't pay people for a month their willingness to give a poo poo drops accordingly!

I went and got $14 ramen back when the shutdown started and I only thought it would last a week or so at most. It tasted like optimism. Now I'm going for the top ramen. Tastes like college.
