The Ramen Burger is a new hybrid food from Keizo Shimamoto, a ramen enthusiast who spent some time in Japan, but currently resides in New York City. According to his Facebook page, it's a USDA Prime ground beef chuck patty and two "craftily" formed buns made of ramen noodles. It looks like someone smashed a bunch of noodles together and formed them into patty shapes.
The burger patty is topped with Shimamoto's special sauce and your choice of vegetables.

needs more cheese

He has dishonored both his homeland as well as the country that took him in.

No, this is pure genius. And it looks completely delicious! *drool*

*edit* btw OP your poll sucks, why does one have to be better than the other? They can both be different but enjoyable.

Hmm... Do you cut if into chucks and use a fork or use hands? Would the shape of the noodle buns holds if one eats it by hands?

I still prefer a regular toasted bun...

 

[Zorander]

Very interesting, if rather messy, food. I can imagine the noodles unravelling, chopped onions falling off and the sauce dripping. It will taste unlike any other burgers though.

 

[nisryus]

Maybe the noodles are meant to be fallen apart to eat with a fork!

 

[Rakehellion]

Noodles are bread. Who cares?

it's sacrilege!!!

Shimamoto's special sauce

I'm not sure I want to know what that is.

I could live on Ramen. It could be my obsession with sodium though. I would definitely try this burger, but it is hard to imagine how it will stay together.

 

[sunzt]

It would be better with buns AND ramen so you can at least hold the thing.

 

[brainhulk]

it looks like the ramen is lightly toasted to hold it's shape?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

So it's hamburger helper. Big deal.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

he is a disgrace

 

[bunnyfubbles]

[JulesMaximus]

[Krazy4Real]

I'd try it. :thumbsup:

[Narse]

Looks tasty to me.

 

[slayer202]

burger and noodles? I don't think so.

Burger and rice, on the other hand...

 

[Azraele]

That looks gross.D:

 

[Sonikku]

I came into this thread picturing a Reman Burger when misreading the topic title.

[RampantAndroid]

I threw up a little when I saw that burger...

 

[Fritzo]

Screw that.

Beef short rib bacon burger:

It's obvious that this is the result of combining two things just because it's trendy to do so.

Conceptually it makes no sense whatsoever, because the more important component of a good bowl of ramen is arguably the soup/broth.

i approve. what flavor ramen though? better not be that crappy top ramen either.
