National Pretzel Day felt like the perfect excuse to slow down and make something simple.

SEOUL TRAIN — THE FINAL RIDE
Seoul Train pulls into the station for one final Ramen & Records of the winter season.
What started as an idea — a few bowls, some records, a room to gather — turned into something real.
A space filled with laughter, music, conversations, and people who showed up with open minds, empty bellies, and a craving for something new.
Built on the belief that food should be shared by all, for all..
You brought the energy.
You brought the records.
You made this what it is.
For one more night, we do it again.
📍 Loaded Question Brewery — Portsmouth, NH
📅 Friday, April 24th
No cover. Brewery open to the public.
Bowl Pass recommended — last month we sold out.
Come hungry.
Stay awhile.
Let’s close this chapter together.
Low ego. High flavor.
Good sound. Good broth.
Our Banchan Ramen:
Kimchi tare broth
Sukju namul bean sprouts
Ssamjang egg
Karaage oyster mushroom yakitori
Scallions
Fermented. Funky. A little heat.
Bright, layered, and built to ride.
One last bowl for the winter session.
All aboard.

An Ode to Ramen
Today is National Ramen Day… and it feels like the right moment to pause and reflect.
Ramen Soul didn’t happen overnight.
It’s been years of travel, late-night ideas, test bowls, inspiration from kitchens around the world, and a belief that food can bring people together in a way nothing else can.
What started as a concept… became a room.
And that room came alive.
To everyone who’s come out to Loaded Question Brewery, shared a table, grabbed a beer, brought records, stayed a little longer than planned, and trusted us with a bowl — thank you.
You embraced it.
You understood it.
You made it what it is.
Ramen Soul has never just been about ramen.
It’s about connection.
It’s about culture.
It’s about creating a space where food, music, and community all live in the same moment.
To see people eating, laughing, talking music, swapping records, and just being present… that’s the dream.
And now it’s real.
We hope you’ll join us for the next Ramen & Records on Friday, April 24th — the final night of our winter run.
After that, we’ll be taking a short break as we transition back to summer — camping, foraging, and cooking up new recipes from our upcoming eBook at the Kittery Community Farmers’ Market.
From the bottom of my heart — thank you for being part of it.
Ramen Soul lives.

BAYOU HEAT + SAVORY BEIGNETS
We’re bringing a little New Orleans soul to Ramen & Records.
The Bayou Heat Bowl is full-on NOLA flavors:
Trinity dashi broth
Roux-built tare
Smoked oil
Andouille-style king trumpet yakitori
Crispy okra
Remoulade ramen egg
Smoky. Rich. A little wild.
And alongside it — something a little unexpected:
Savory, pillowy beignets with koji butter and gumbo file.
Warm, airy, and deeply umami — uniquely Nomadic Kitchen… and just right to finish up the night.
Records. Ramen. Mardi Gras energy in every corner.

Laissez les bons temps rouler.

I found myself standing over a pot of gumbo this week, slowly stirring a dark roux and letting the flavors build the way they’re meant to — patiently, intentionally, without rushing it.
Gumbo isn’t just a recipe. It’s a process. A rhythm. One of those dishes that reminds you that good food takes time… and that time is always worth it.
I made a larger batch than usual and packed up a few portions for the community fridge — a small way to share something warm, nourishing, and made with care.
This month’s version leans on a gluten-free roux and a mix of vegetables, mushrooms, and plant-based sausage. It’s rich, smoky, and deeply satisfying — the kind of meal that feels right this time of year.
And if you’d like to taste where this all started, we’re bringing those same deep, soulful flavors to Ramen Soul Lab 1.0, where this month’s featured bowl is our Gumbo Ramen — a fusion of slow-built Louisiana flavor and ramen comfort in one steamy bowl.
Join us at Loaded Question Brewery Friday March 27th for Ramen & Records, or grab the recipe on our website when you sign up for our monthly newsletter. Bring a little of that Bayou rhythm into your own kitchen.

About last month…
Didn’t see that coming.
Totally and pleasantly unexpected.
We sold out — and we’re beyond grateful to everyone who showed up, slurped up, and spun records with us. That energy? Unreal.
So for this next drop…
We’re taking a trip to the Caribbean.
Island Riddims
Jerk-inspired flavors.
Reggae on rotation.
Creamy coconut-yuzu ramen, sweet plantains, and that signature groove you’ve come to expect.
🎟️ Tickets go on sale on the 15th via the Nomadic Kitchen website.
No refunds — but no risk of missing out.
We’ll still welcome walk-ins while supplies last…
but if you want to lock in your bowl, this is your moment.
