Philly’s nascent ramen scene is fast becoming a niagara of noodles. Ramen Boy, Nom Nom Ramen, Cheu Noodle pop-ups and the perpetual promise of Royal Sushi and Izakaya have in a very short amount of time helped quell our hunger for Japanese noodles. Now Patrick Feury, chef-owner of Berwyn’s Nectar and big brother to Fork’s chef Terence Feury, is saying that he’s headed back to the city with a “high brow” ramen restaurant of his own, Foobooz reports. We’re not sure what exactly that means. Thinking man’s noodles? But could it be possible that just as quickly as this small segment of our foodiesphere picks up steam, that we will find ourselves with a glut of ramen joints? It’s happened before with other concepts. We’re currently at our saturation point with gastropubs. Could ramen be our “new cupcakes?” Only time will tell. [Foobooz]
