When I encountered Hinata Ramen last week, I felt a wave of hope rise in my chest. You see, ramen and I have a troubled history. For a brief time after college, my best friend and I would gab late every night over bowls of fiery packaged ramen noodles. A few weeks of that, and I quit eating ramen. I could have sworn it was starting to burn a hole through my stomach lining.
