Smorgasburg Brooklyn, And The Famous Ramen Burger

The famous Smorgasburg, Brooklyn Flea Food Market, aka the best (but rather expensive) place to get yummy and unique food in Brooklyn every Saturday and Sunday. This past Sunday I made my way to the Prospect Park location and tried the famous Ramen Burger.

If you haven't heard of the original Ramen Burgers, they are the brain child of Keizo Shimamot who encountered pork sandwiches with ramen buns while studying in Japan, and brought it back to his L.A. roots by throwing a burger patty into the mix.

Everyone talks about the Ramen Burger and if you peruse #RamenBurger on Instagram, you will be faced with hoards of people who too, have been drawn to this unique meal.

I was excited but skeptical to try this crazy contraption, I love ramen and I love burgers, but together they were just okay. The burger is $10 with two ramen rounds for buns, arugula, the meat patty, their special sauce and cheese. I wished instantly that I had not gotten the arugula on it because I knew that I didn't like it.

While I was eating it, I thought it was really good! The meat patty was cooked about medium-well to well done, but as the day wore on I think the ramen bun really started to upset my stomach. I'm not sure if it's because it has been so hot here, just like most of the United States right now, or because the bun just really didn't sit well with me but it's probably not something that I will try again.

Although I did not completely love this, my friend Sam who was with me did! I really think this is either your thing or it is not, but definitely something worth trying once if not for the novelty, for the fact that you can eat both ramen and a burger at the same time.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
