Ramen Shack, an OC Restaurant From Ramen Burger Inventor, Closes Permanently | Eater LA

"When Heritage Barbecue teamed with Ramen Shack for a one-day Ramen Burger event in June 2022, I saw people wait more than three hours to try a Ramen Burger filled with cold-smoked, half‑pound, ground brisket patties; pitmaster Daniel Castillo and Keizo Shimamoto served 500 burgers made with Shimamoto’s signature ramen noodle buns and a secret Shoyu sauce, garnished with arugula and scallions. The crowd wrapped around the corner, with many people bringing lawn chairs and umbrellas and taking selfies in front of the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano across the street, and the scene had a celebratory, almost stadium-tailgate vibe." - Jenn Tanaka
