100 Ramen Burgers Coming To Smorgasburg Saturday
By Nell Casey in Food on Aug 1, 2013 12:59 PM
Get ready to line up extra early at Smorgasburg this Saturday because the Sun Noodle stand will be selling burgers with ramen “buns” to the first 100 souls willing to face the world before noon on a weekend. Noodle master Keizo Shimamoto is bringing his Ramen Burger creation to the waterfront market as a kind of trial run for a potential restaurant in the future.
 
The burger consists of a 75-25% blend patty, a generous slathering of shoyu sauce, peppery arugula and a scattering of scallions. In lieu of bread, Shimamoto griddles discs of Sun Noodle ramen noodles in sesame oil until they are crisp, then stuffs the “buns” with the burger and fixins. He’ll employ the PleatPak, an innovative burger wrapper, to ensure all the soup-y goodness from your burger doesn’t leak onto your Urban Outfitters Minor Threat T-shirt.

The Ramen Burger Is Back This Weekend
8/8/13 at 09:00 AM
A sprawling line of 500 people reportedly formed in the rain last weekend after chef Keizo Shimamoto announced last week that he’d have supplies to make a mere 150 ramen burgers at Smorgasburg, so it’s only natural that he’d come back for an encore performance. This week he’s bringing in enough noodles and beef to make 300. The market opens at 11 a.m. if you want in, and it’s never too early to start giving yourself a pep talk

What’s With This Hybrid Food Craze That Has Taken Over New York City?
Cronut. Ramen burger. Pizzagiana. Will it stop?
By George Embiricos
(...)
Visitors to Brooklyn food fair Smorgasburg this past weekend got the chance to try out the “ramen burger.” The brainchild of chef Keizo Shimamoto, who hopes to open a standalone ramen burger restaurant, the item consists of a beef patty wrapped in fried ramen noodles instead of a bun. Line wait times hovered around two hours for the opportunity to taste one of the 150 burgers, which sold out. It should be noted that this weekend marked only the product’s debut — it is already being heralded as “the next cronut.”

It certainly appears so. If you haven’t heard of the Ramen Burger, it’s a burger surrounded by two patties made of fried ramen noodles with a secret shoyu sauce, scallions, and arugula. Here’s what it looks like.
