When I worked as a book editor in New York City there was a ramen restaurant a few blocks from my office called Larmen Dosanko. I used to belly up to the counter and eat their curry ramen at least once a week, usually with a side of gyoza dumplings.
Hello to all you bed-resting, head-pounding, body-aching, ear-piercing, tummy-rumbling, why-did-I-drink-so-much-at-Beer-Fest enthusiasts! Seriously, thanks to everyone who came out to the Utah Beer Festival; it seemed like everyone who came enjoyed themselves greatly!
