Yume Ga Arukara: Behind the Man, the Myth, and the Udon | Bon Appétit

"Tucked inside the Lesley College food court in Cambridge, this 20‑something‑seat noodle counter focuses on a single dish: niku (beef) udon. Thick, pudgy strands are rolled and machine-cut to order and served in an intensely flavorful broth; the shop routinely goes through dozens of pounds of noodles on busy days. Service is fast and theatrical—the small team grades bowl completion with shouted encouragements ("Perfect!"/"Good job!"), fosters a communal, student-friendly vibe, and treats the counter as a training ground for young cooks, emphasizing craft, speed, and the ritual of slurping and finishing your bowl." - ByElyse Inamine
