Ep.44 - Ramen Inspired Ramen at Menya Rui in St. Louis, Missouri

On today's episode, I welcome Steven Pursely from Menya Rui in St. Louis, Missouri.  You may not know this but Steven has been studying ramen for close to a decade and has patiently weaved his way of ramen-making into one of the most anticipated shop openings of 2022. Menya Rui is a serious "craft" ramen shop where everything, including noodles, is made in-house.  Steven's journey invokes memories of my own and it was a pleasure to find out more about him and what the future holds for ramen in the midwest and beyond.
