Ramenfest!

It seems every trendy food has a festival all its own these days in Chicago, Doughnuts have their day, poutine has its day, and chili likewise. Baconfest has ballooned over the years to become a culinary juggernaut and one of the hottest tickets of the year. Joining the fray this year is Ramenfest, an apt addition to the local food fest scene considering ramen’s rise to legitimacy over the past few years. The inaugural Ramenfest is right around the corner, taking place November 8 at urbanbelly, one of the progenitors of the noodle craze.
