| Ready for ramen! |
For this month’s RC we headed to Sweet Cheeks for their ramen night…if you can manage to go out on a Monday night, I highly recommend it. You won’t find anything about it on their web site, but they will tweet about the ramen flavor o’ the day. We arrived by 8 and there was already a line (it’s always a good sign when there are lots of Asian kids lining up for ramen). Seating doesn’t start until nine, but the outdoor bar and shrimp chips helped to pass the time.

| Teriyaki wings |
Lucky for us the ramen of the week was fried chicken with house kimchi, soy sauce, egg, and “more yummy goodness”. The broth had been cooking for three days and we got to select a spice level (mild, medium, spicy)…I went with medium and it was just the right amount of spice for me.
It is a limited ramen night menu, but luckily their amazing biscuits were still on the menu. Of course biscuits and ramen go together! Our server played a mean trick on us and told us they were out of the biscuits. Then he started laughing and said “Just kidding…that was so worth it!”. We also got shishito peppers, teriyaki wings, and smoked pork belly (which you order by the pound).
My favorite part was the fried chicken. And the broth. And the noodles. And the mushrooms. And the egg. Ok…I loved every part of it. It was absolutely delicious, and way better than dorm room ramen (per Julie Spanos).
Great pick Kendrin!

$32 each plus whatever drinks we ordered at the outside bar while waiting in line
