Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

As a child, the Rameniac was "fairly deprived of good food." Now, this noodle-slurping enthusiast is making up for lost time: "If ramen is food for the starving college student, then I'm a career gastronomy major and the backwaters of Japan are my alma mater." But ramen's brothy delights aren't limited to the Land of the Rising Sun, and our blogger-eater emeritus is dedicated to noodle shops worldwide. Begin with the ramenologist's field guide to the 22 types of noodle styles, and then branch into reviews such as "the Rolls Royce of the Nissin Cup Noodle line" and the 9 levels of spiciness. Bring your own milk. And if you ever find yourself in a deserted corner mall in Southern California, recognize the clues and belly up to the counter. You may just find yourself slurping down one of the best bowls of ramen the Golden State has to offer.
