you know I don't know that there's
anything better than this and in the
cold weather we have Steve Grimes from
crane ramen and Riverside here this
morning to talk about everything that
they offer I mean it's the perfect place
when we get these show these chilly
temperatures it's a perfect place anyway
because I'm a giant fan of your ramen
you brought a lot of examples today to
show us you have a big variety we do
certain shops try to focus on one thing
one broth or one style and I'd like to
give as much variety an option as
possible so we have vegetarian ramen
right over here actually vegan ramen um
we've got clear and heavy brats
mm-hmm I'll start to assemble but um the
one I wanted to showcase today is we're
doing that oh is that this is a
marrow bone YUM and then we've got one
full day broth and it also comes with
some bok choy mm-hmm and a soy egg as it
stands it it looks a little bit simple
but the complexity comes from the broth
that's been cooking for an entire day
yes man you want to just kind of let
everything come together come together
and let all those flavors now do you
just scoop that out and so the
interesting thing is I mean ramen
supposed to be this right like Japanese
people you have to eat sushi this way no
ma'am it's food yeah what do you honey
you know what honestly I love the way
you describe that because that's how
that's how I feel about it and that's
why I love all the different options
that you have and that means you know
you can add what you want I mean really
it it is that versatile there's people
that come in and they feel embarrassed
like can I have a fork sure I mean what
can afford it's nothing wrong but you
don't have to give in your fingers um
the the easiest way I would suggest to
eat the bone marrow is huh you can just
dig it out with your chopsticks yep um
you can also just use a spoon okay the
some people pick up the noodle and then
they kind of dig it in to get that to
coat the noodle and then the the real
adventurous people or hardcore will
finish the bowl and then order a shot of
whiskey and then hold them and then take
a shot of whiskey that's like a douche
how do you do it so you you finished
thank you like this you do the shots the
bone marrow and then you put the shot
here and then you just take the shot of
whiskey that's probably one of the cool
and I've seen people do it tequila and
stuff like that right whiskey works
because it's like whiskey and meat right
like a whiskey I mean why not oh my gosh
I love it
the other part of that too and now with
all these different bowls that you have
here does it is an egg standard and
everyone uh no I mean we don't put an
egg in our vegetarian me so yeah yes
obviously yeah but people will order an
egg some people just want something
light yep
some people don't want any meat at all
and they just want the egg so we've got
our vegetarian then we've got our bone
marrow what's this one this is to show
you this is what I did at our last
segment uh-huh oh you own your run last
time yeah no it's a chicken and fish
broth okay and you've got pork butt
that's been braised for four hours and
then it gets a soy egg drawing a blank
pickled bamboo shoots okay and bok choy
and then we've got our shio ramen people
really go crazy for this one because
there's seafood in it okay it gets fresh
snow crab oh it also gets pork belly Wow
get a mixture of the two I like this one
personally because it's really light
yeah it's not too heavy but again people
will order this and then they want to
add hot sauce or yeah I mean like you
know and like you said there's nothing
that is right you know and I love that
too as a chef that you don't get
offended you know I mean I mean you want
people to enjoy their experience and
change it on they want to change I want
this I don't want that and I I take a
long time to think about what is
specifically going in and how this works
with that I try and think about it like
my sister hates tomatoes and she doesn't
want a burger with tomatoes so okay all
right I won't give you it's an I don't
give a you a tomato
okay and what is this one this is our
pie tan chicken so this is a complete
chicken broth with dry gender and then
we've got chicken meatballs that we make
you get cherry tomato and this is a
coriander Szechuan pickled onion we have
only a few seconds left I know you've
got one more to put together and what's
our last one this is the tonkotsu broth
the pork bone broth by far our absolute
best seller because it's pork bone okay
it's a 36-hour brah
made one entire Pig so with the feet the
head and the femur and then we cook it
to take out the bone marrow but as you
can see light heavy but lots of
different variants not vegetarian you
know now that you see I mean there's no
question it is getting rave reviews you
need to go to creme ramen it is located
in Riverside no better time to do it
than today tomorrow while we're
experiencing these cool temperatures but
they're always open even in the summer
and it's still delicious then thank you
so much
