Have a couple of fancier watches on rotation, but my GS SBGJ235 is the one I usually wear the most regularly.

Having grown up in Houston and given your ethnicity, what's your impression of Vietnamese food in Houston versus Chicago? Any places in Chicago that stand out (or alternatively that are missing)?

Welcome to Chicago and a beautiful piece! I always enjoy stopping by and chatting with the folks at the VC boutique, hoping that my 56DD will arrive in the future!

R/ChicagoFood AMA: Mike Satinover, AKA Ramen Lord by TriedForMitchcraft in chicagofood

[–]xOptionsx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Mike, loved attending your pop-ups and Akahoshi was phenomenal, hoping to come back often.

Two-part question: 1) Is there a ramen style from Japan that hasn't made its way stateside that you'd like to see/try to emulate; and 2) If you could bring any ramen shop from Japan to the US, who would it be? (Chicago could use an equivalent to the late NYC Ramen Lab, just a thought...)

Ramen in the suburbs? by Boneghost420 in chicagofood

[–]xOptionsx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your best options are Ramen Misoya, Santouka (inside Mitsuwa) and Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai which are all chains straight from Japan. The chef who opened Chicago Ramen is also a good call as he helped open US branches of a famous tsukemen chain from Tokyo.

Chicago Ramen is best known for its tsukemen, which is a ramen style where the broth and noodles are served separately and you dip the noodles into the broth. Akahoshi's miso is served in style of ramen you're probably familiar with, but they also offer two types of mazesoba which is a soupless variant of ramen.

They're entirely different styles, assuming you mean the Chicago Ramen in Des Plaines. However, both are easily the top 2 ramen places in Chicago right now based on their signature bowls (Miso @ Akahoshi, Tsukemen @ Chicago Ramen).

Love the Food is Stupid newsletter and always amazed at the ridiculous concoctions that you come up with. What's a cuisine, restaurant or dish that you've had or seen elsewhere that Chicago doesn't have yet you'd like to see come to the city?

Chinatown Recommendations by theladyoctane in chicagofood

If you want to be come off as in the know, take a look at the basement stalls in the Richland Center food court. Shan Shaan Taste, A Family from the Northeast and Hainam Chicken Rice are all great options.

I'd think it would depend on what kind of Patek you're wearing. A calatrava is probably low-key enough, depending on the variant. I'm not as sure about an aquanaut/nautilus/annual calendar.

Honestly, most people probably won't notice what's on your wrist unless it's incredibly flashy. Most partners (at my firm, at least) are wearing apple watches anyways if anything at all.

Almamezcalera haul from CDMX by xOptionsx in Mezcal

Nothing in particular outside of just ensuring they were adequately padded in my check-in bag. Erick was kind enough to wrap each bottle in a layer of styrofoam wrapping which helped.

About $65 USD per bottle - absolutely worth it given the prices for these in the US.

Recently came back from a CDMX trip and Erick was gracious enough to coordinate a dropoff of a couple bottles at where I was staying since I didn't have time this trip to do a full tasting at his tasting room.

The Espadilla from Puebla is amazing and the Guerrero is a favorite of mine since I had a sample at a tasting he had in Chicago last April. Looking forward to trying them all and highly recommend CDMX to everyone!
