Ramen: After many long years as the lowly food of choice for college students, people on the go, and anyone interested in a meal that costs pennies, the Japanese obsession is finally getting its due in America as one of the most awesomely delicious ways to stuff your face. New York City, L.A., and just about every big city in between is now crawling with serious ramen bars claiming to serve the most authentic version of the Tokyo staple—not to mention some decidedly weird spinoffs. For the dorm-room crowd, there are even cookbooks dedicated to finding ways to spice up that $0.33 package of noodles and flavoring.

"What is that sriracha going to do to his beard?"

"Did he use a strainer or is his beard the strainer?"

"What has happened to the human race?"

"Can someone just please explain how, already?"
