Believe it or not, there was quite the demand for the Ramen Burgers at the Sept. 28th Hawkers Market, so much so that the organisers are going to give those who missed them another shot next Friday, October 18th between 6pm and 11pm. What’s a ramen burger, you ask? It’s a fatty big patty of beef served in a “bun” made of ramen noodles. Because of course it is!
They’re calling the one night only pop-up at 870 E Cordova St. an “Internet Dinner” since they’re not dishing haute cuisine (natch) but rather a “viral” pop culture food that Vancouverites have hitherto only seen on the web (when Japanese chef/blogger Keizo Shimamoto debuted them at Brooklyn’s Smorgasburg this past summer, they blew the “cronut” hype out of the blogosphere’s vitamin water). This is your chance to see/try them in real life. Remember real life? It can be tasty.
In addition to the ramen burger (which we’re still trying to get our heads around), the evening will also feature Storm Brewing’s Root Beer Stout, ice creams from Brown Paper Packages Ice Cream “Adult Sundae Bar”, and music by Chapel Sound. Though walk-ins are ok (expect line-ups), they’re encouraging the curious to book their burgers in advance because they sold out pretty quickly the last time around.
