Let These NYC Chefs Show You How You Should Approach a Bowl of Ramen

Ramen culture in New York City is strong, and you have likely been to a few of the City's hotspots, but do you know how to approach a bowl the way the chefs intended? In this video from Serious Eats, watch as 5 famous local ramen chefs give you insight on how you should be eating your ramen.

We asked the chefs at five of our favorite ramen shops in New York City to weigh in on the importance of slurping ramen, and give tips for those who are new to the practice. While the idea was inspired by that campy scene with the ramen master in the cult food flick Tampopo, their responses gave us more than just basic instructions: We also got a primer on the philosophy behind each of their favorite bowls.
