"Red flags hang over the window of Midnite Ramen’s tiny cart parked outside Chuck’s Hop Shop in Greenwood, filtering the light that comes through the window of the 70-square-foot kitchen inside and blowing in a breeze that carries the comforting aroma of soup and noodles. The roving operation — a regular fixture at local breweries such as Figurehead, Holy Mountain, and Obec as well — often sells out of the mere 120 servings of ramen it can produce each night. The cart, which opened last fall, at times seems barely large enough for chef and owner Elmer Komagata to turn around in." - Naomi Tomky
