From restaurant owner to pop-up chef, Kevin's journey with ramen has been simmering in the background for five years. Now, he's ready to bring the heat back with "Ramen Cat" - launching October 2025.

Kevin takes us through his culinary origin story, detailing how his passion for ramen led him to run a successful restaurant before COVID-19 changed everything. He shares candid insights about the restaurant industry, explaining how his original "Ramen Lounge" evolved into "Broken Coconut" to adapt to seasonal challenges. What shines through is his unwavering commitment to craftsmanship - from perfecting broth recipes to his exciting plans for making fresh handmade noodles.

The conversation delves into food authenticity with refreshing honesty. "You want authentic? Go to Japan," Kevin states, embracing the creativity that comes with creating cuisine influenced by multiple culinary traditions. His vegetarian ramen became unexpectedly popular among meat-lovers, demonstrating his talent for innovation while respecting traditional foundations.

We explore the psychology behind culinary creativity, as Kevin explains how taking criticism in cooking differs from other areas of life: "It's nothing personal, it's just trying to make me a better chef." His approach to reintroducing his passion is methodical - starting with tastings among friends before expanding to pop-ups and potentially a ghost kitchen model.

Ready to experience what happens when passion meets craftsmanship? Follow Kevin's ramen renaissance and be first in line when Ramen Cat debuts. The countdown to October 2025 begins now!
