Heartbreak and laughter

Heartbreak that many ramen fans in the "bay area" know all too well...

You MUST MUST get to Santa Ramen before they open at 1730 to join the queue! Otherwise, you'll never be able to taste the ultimate decadence of stewed pork and instead you'll have to settle for the plain old decadence of tonkotsu cha-siu ramen instead.

Santa's moving to just south of the 92 on El Camino Real. That means easier parking and a Nijiya Market to buy stuff in after your large helping of steam ramen goodness! They're not sure about when yet, but your roving correspondent visited the site and saw stockpots the size of small Tokyo apartments in the front, so they may be opening up before the end of the year...
