In today's episode, we are joined by Chris Krinsky, the innovative force behind Austin's Ramen Del Barrio, who reflects on the journey from a "pipe dream" to a culinary phenomenon. We explore his culinary journey, the challenges of opening and running a ramen shop, and handling skepticism about authenticity. From Michelin Bib Gourmand accolades to prestigious James Beard nominations, Chris delves into the fusion of Japanese and Mexican cuisines, the intricacies of running a successful kitchen, and the broader cultural and economic impacts on the food scene. Also, get a glimpse into upcoming collaborations, menu development, and the exciting plans for his first brick-and-mortar location.
