Part 2 of the Ramen Pop-up with Ramen lord. In the previous episode we prepared 300 portions of noodles, but in this one we are actually hosting the popup. So many people show up and the pressure was on. It is one thing to cook for youtube videos, but it is another to cook for real guests. We made two different bowls of ramen, one Korean inspired and the other one French inspired.

It is humbling that a Frenchman and an American are making Ramen in a Korean restaurant in Chicago. An example of how food that spreads into other cultures just gets better and better.
It gets butter and butter.
Asian and Western collaboration is actually pretty common, not just in cuisine but in business and culture in general. We work well together since we are so different but know how to complement each other and add something unique or a little twist to what was already created. This was just one example of it but there are endless examples from TikTok to spaghetti to DJI drones to architecture.
Wouldn’t say better.
But I’m down with the respect to tradition
Ramen is also called, ‘Chuka Soba,’ in Japan. Literally, translated to ‘Chinese noodles.’ So, it’s a Frenchman with Korean Americans cooking a Japanese reinterpretation of a Chinese noodle dish. 😂
better? Nothing compares to any of the ramen you can get in Japan.
As a line cook, i would love to see Alex do a series where he stages at different types of restaurants working the line.
That sounds like it's kind of outside of his "obsess over one item" lane.
I'd love to see it though. He'd be great at showing people all the work that goes into a single plate of a Michelin star dinner.
I second this. even if the project is far away, This series would have my heart
Gotta start in the dish pit though 😂
That sounds like an utterly boring video.
Alex isn't a Chef. He is a content creator
Thanks for letting me tag along and film that night Alex! Was a pleasure to work with you!
Good camera work!
2nd camera operator. good job!!!
at some point of the video I kind of caught myself not following the story closely and just enjoyed the camerawork.
thought, who is this? now I know.
It was an honor working with you alex!
So good Alex! Congrats! ❤
I just watched your video, man.
Yoir*
Desi ramen recipe when 👀👀
Alex , we need a collab
Love the pursuit of culinary knowledge and experience Alex this channel is always a blast to watch
I love that the more Alex becomes famous, the more he reaches out to people. He could have isolated himself from the world and made the same type of videos with the same circle of friends, but no, Alex wants to learn.
being part of such a well managed team is something special, some of the best times ive had...These experiences can be transformative to your life. Seeing this made me feel nostalgic for all the good reasons, you guys did such a great job, my hat off to you!
There’s a great feeling chefs get after a really good dinner service, a hard fast clean down and lots of happy customers. You get outside afterwards into crisp late night air, usually with a beer and a cigarette, with your buddies and just feel at one with universe. Looks like Alex felt this that night.
I enjoyed watching Alex confront the difference in home cooking vs line cooking, and the idea of consistency as a value. Plus, did anyone else notice the amount of diced onion in that prep container at the beginning? Wow!
Chicago the mini series is great. Ramen lord very generous. Watching you conjure the brown butter onion broth was amazing. So nice to see how much the customers liked it
I don't know why I got so emotional about this video, but I'm so happy for you and your collaborators. The night appears to have been a smashing success and a valuable learning experience for you. As creative, curious and passionate people, what more can we ask? I appreciate your content and your sharing your journey more every time. Rock On!
Same ngl especially at the end when he sat down for his bowl that was real emotional, I remember seeing his first ramen videos pop up many years ago
Its not that strange, a lot of passion goes into the food and the making of these videos, so it is only natural to experience it as a viewer. I felt exactly the same way.
The moment 13:40 Alex realized that he truly needed to thank Ramen Lord -- inspiring. People doing amazing honest heart work.
I spent 5 years working on a vietnamese foodcart in my city. Started by 2 young, first generation immigrants. At first things were a mess. But these guys had passion, and while working there (I didn't even know how to cook for myself at home when I first started washing dishes for them) I learned how to have my own passion for food and feeding people. We ended up winning Best Food in our local paper 3 years in a row because every plate and every bowl mattered, and we worked hard, as a team.
Watching you sit down at the end of your day to finally get to enjoy your own product really took me back to that time of my life. Your feet hurt. Your hands are burned and sore. You're thirsty, you're starving... you sit down with a copy of what you've handed out all day (with maybe a few personal tweaks, and maybe a beer heh) and experience the first silence and the first calm you've experienced since you clocked in, and you're in heaven. And if you made a lot of people full and happy, you earned it.
This got me teary eyed. I remembered my ramen shop, opened it back in 2018 but had to close in the beginning of 2020. I did everything from scratch as well. It was you, David Chang, Ivan Orkin, and Momofuku Ando who opened my dreams to make my own Ramen Shop.
Keep on sharing the Ramen Gospel, Alex. Salute!
Hope to see you someday, and maybe make the Ultimate Ramen Bowl.
make video making your special ramen! hope you make ramen again!
Take advice from Mike. Do pop ups until you have developed a client base and reputation. :-)
Well for some reason I got emotional at the end. Watching this after following Alex since the beginning and thinking how many INCREDIBLE PEOPLE serve us unseen with SINCERE FEELINGS to fill our stomachs with great food. For a person who feels loved and loves food (it's a love language) this was really touching. You've inspired people, some have changed their lives and started something new (shout out to the long time viewer now baker) and it's been an incredible journey around the world. Wherever you go from here Alex... I want to see it and thanks for sharing you love for cooking with us.
You're right - teamwork is everything in the kitchen and in life in general.
I love that you came to Chicago. Im a Chicagoan and I think this video very much captures what it is like to live here. Diverse, high energy, good people, good food, art. Hope you enjoyed it!
I have been watching now for a while, and I have to say that your journey has been amazing. IMHO You became a professional in this episode and felt what people feel who have the love, the passion, and desire to learn more in a certain subject and then use it to help others... It is a truly remarkable experience, is it not? Bravo Alex, Bravo!
reminded me when I worked at a dumpling shop. Very humbling to know how much work people put into amazing food.
I never thought about it before but these type of episodes make me think about Netflix's Chef table. But it's Alex's very own version of it and I love it!
Loved this video as always Alex! Specially Loved your addition to the Ramen! Butter and Caramelized onions are the most french things that you could have put in and i love you for it!
There's butter ramen for awhile with the most common is shoyu butter.
The amount of emotion you put in your food and which reflects in your videos is amazing man. Love it!
Alex, your videos are all great but this ramen series has so much fun and joy that it’s at a whole new level! You’re building on so much you’ve done before, with different kinds of noodles and broth. It’s a wonderful thing. ❤️❤️❤️
the maniacal laughter going into a ad from ramen lord reminds me of so many talented chefs
Et bien Alex, c'était incroyable ! J'apprends toujours plus de choses à chaque fois, merci. Tu as du kiffer travailler cette nuit au Perilla !
Great job Alex...always fun and informative
I love this! It brought me back to my kitchen days in the best way possible. Thank you and congrats Alex
These journeys are so fun to watch. Love it, thanks for sharing Alex
Beautiful ❣️ watching it on a big screen and it’s immersive and intense- thank you Alex🥰
I’m so glad you enjoyed your time in Chicago! ❤️
you're amazing and to see you so humble, given your skill and talent is in itself humbling. Keep it up, don't change!
These episodes are getting better and better, good job for making such great content. Can't wait to see next one :)
Alex, i would really enjoy a video of yours explaining the "french brigade" restaurant process that takes place in some michelin star restaurants. You explaining the making of a ramen bowl in this restaurant reminded me of how perfect the fit of your editing style + narration would be for such a fascinating process that takes place behind the scenes.
loving this series Alex
Love these so much. Thanks again for the content man you're living the dream
Alex and to everyone involved, thank you for making this and for sharing! That kitchen, the skill of all the line cooks and all the other staff working in harmony, is such a well oiled machine!
You’re such an inspiration to so many people, keep up the great work, Alex. I’m so happy I found your channel watching another of my favorite TH-camrs, This Old Tony. You two are one of a kind.🥰🥰
It’s been wonderful to see your progress over the years, Alex. To now work on a hot line in a kitchen in Chicago. What an experience for you. Must have been life changing in a way. So glad to see you work with real cooks and learn in the action instead of just staying home and making videos. Cheers!
Top notch! editing. Really stood out to me, great job!
such content, relaxed and precise line cooks. You guys ran that kitchen flawless. Nobody was running around, everyone in there stations just making it all come together. Amazing job coming from a general manager/ manager of 12 years !
Gotta say it changes things when you're only making two plates for the 3 hours that you're open as well. But agreed.
I'm actually teary eyed remembering my time in a kitchen, and watching this. The controlled chaos. The camaraderie. Everything. Saluté.
This is it! Thank you Alex for showing us the experience from inside. It is crazy it happened half a year ago already.
congrats on 2 mil! should be 200mil Alex !! one of ur best videos this
I would never say I miss working in a commercial kitchen, but that feeling of a quiet kitchen and a good meal after a long and busy service really is something special
This new season of the ramen series has been phenominal so far ive loved every episode!
I really enjoy this ramen jorney of yours and as i was, not only watching but kind of feeling being there, i noticed how well this video is put together to convey to me what you were doing there.
Thank you @ editor.
Very much appreciated.
This is such a great video, Alex! Congratulations to you, Ramen_Lord, and the crew!
I've been watching since the beginning - this is one of the best stories you have told! Congrats on the experience.
Always love the way you brake down the process
OMG, I'm in Chicago - wish I'd been there! You should make it a regular gig every few months so more people can enjoy the experience. Maybe experiment with two different flavors next time. As a chef, I had to laugh when you explained the difference between cooking in a restaurant vs. cooking by yourself. It definitely takes time to build the stamina and teamwork muscles to work the line. Congrats! ❤
Great fun to watch this old pro Chef loves your energy ❤
This is for sure on my top favourite videos you've made...........fantastic.
Love your videos.....just want them LONGER!
Team work makes the dream work. Ive worked in many restaurants and the flow of the kitchen requires a sync with each other. Awesome video!
Man this was so great, Alex! Found myself sitting with a ahuge smile at in end of the film.. Chapeau
This was so amazing, i was overwhelmed with every bit of it and the service part, hits different always. As a chef that was the most amazing part and the silence after the service is a whole different thing! Thankyou Alex for this video♥️
Alex, I'm so proud for you, and your channel, and your passion for food. Thank You.
Great video Alex. Love to see you in the kitchen. Would love to see a series on running a kitchen over a series of weeks and all the knowledge you gain from that experience.
Your passion for food is very inspiring Alex, thank you for your wonderful content.
Best series so far. Amazing. Now we need a video back in your kitchen in Paris, and make some ramen!
Good vibes all around. So cool to see you work a restaurant like this. Wish I could have tried out the onion butter ramen!
Amazing episode Alex, very warm and clearly you had a great time 👌
I think Alex will soon or eventually open his own restaurant or at least a bistro for special events. All of his videos are leading to it and he´s so determined !!!
Amazing video as usual! My favorites are Pho and Ramen so thank you for that! Hope a Traditional Pho video is in your mind! Cheers!
It would be fun to see Alex do a latin american food series. Amplify the spice!
It'd be amusing to see how he handles that heat. Most French I know are more savory fans than hot spice. That said, there are a lot of restaurants in Paris that serve food hotter than I like, and I'm Texan.
Seconded
Congratulations to you and everyone involved - respect!
love when your video's go into the 15min area!!!
A lot of hard work most people take for granted. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes Alex. Good video too.
It's really cool to see you working the line. You mentioned the flow, and the energy, the adrenaline of service is the best part of this industry. All the work is done, mise is ready, now all there's left is the 'dance'.
Great episode Alex! So nice to see that you got a chance to meet someone you've inspired as much as the lady who started a baking business. I'm sure there are many more out there.
Alex always posts the best content thank you ❤
This was an absolutely fantastic video, well done Alex!
You deserve this success Alex. Congrats.
Man I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning and seeing this is awesome! Keep up the hustle you’re doing absolutely great!
Mec tu me rends fou... Je me cogne des ramen depuis des semaines a cause de tes vidéos, j'adore les faire, j'utilise bcp de tes astuces et de tes techniques, c'est génial merci de partager ton savoir avec nous !
Jte kiff mec continue cette série ramen tu nous régales ! 😊
I’m so very proud of you two boys. WELL DONE!
Wow!Everything looks so delicious ❤Congratulations! ❤
that's courage! It's one thing to make ramen for yourself and family. Serving 300 bowls is whole another level.
Man I wish I knew you were here in Chicago I would of gone
Absolutely amazing to see you guys doing such a great job. While watching this I'm carefully tending to my chicken foot broth on a cold dreary Melbourne night here in Oz in anticipation for making our own home made ramen... Can't wait to see what is next on your culinary journey.
Thanks for sharing this with us!!
this was such an amazing experience to be a part of! glad i made my own little wild adventure to chicago to take part 😂
What and amazing chapter to your Ramen story! Congrats Alex on this achievement, Salut!

I applaud your success and appreciate all your dedication. Salute!
I would love it if you were able to cap off each of your journeys with a pop up shop, maybe in a place you'd like to start your next one :D Thanks for spreading the love of food around the world!
amazing serie Alex.
I'm so happy for you. Congratulations on serving YOUR ramen!! Good Job guys.
Living just north of Chicago, I am totally bummed that I missed this and did not hear about it.
Very glad you had such a successful ramen pro debut, Alex! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
