They better have Megaflare and Divebomb as one of their drinks, and Weight of the Land as sandwiches.

The food looks good. That Titan burger especially. I wish we could get stuff like this. I'd love to go to a place like that.

Honestly, if there was one of these near me, I'd go bankrupt wanting to be there every day.

07-31-2014, 04:49 PMPandastirfrySpeaking as an actual chef... I must know how they made that broth such a lovely shade of blue, That has to be one of the most clever ways of presenting a seafood soup/noodle dish I've seen in a longtime.Quote:

otherwise...SURRENDER THE SECRETS OF A BLUE BROTH!!!! -
07-31-2014, 05:04 PMKuwagamiThis "meal" is called "The cold tsunami noodles of the Water God Leviathan". As a total amateur, maybe you could check some blue~ish alcohols or colorants that marry well with noodles, clams and shrimps ? just a guess.Quote:

side note : they'll likely never release the full ingredient list :p gotta keep the secret for purely trademark purpose ;) -

But my background is mostly European cooking, so the only alcohols that pair well with cooking of seafood are primarily white wines, Japanese flavors are something I do more as a hobby, and they're hard to nail down correctly. and yeah They'll never tell me...I'll just have to sit and stare and marvel and most likely never being able to taste it, I'll never be able to figure it out.Quote:

That or they really over exaggerated the impact of "squid soup" in people's mind. ;DQuote:

07-31-2014, 05:41 PMPandastirfryhmm the picture on that page (which has an age verification...do you think they take the term "food porn" just a little to literally) the shade appears to be the same...Looks like you found the winner!Quote:
