Big ups to my buddy Andy Raskin, whose memoir The Ramen King and I: How the Inventor of Instant Noodles Fixed My Love Life has just been released.
I attended a reading of his at Booksmith last night in the Lower Haight.
But don’t worry, he’s on tour in SF and points beyond this month and throughout the summer. Check his site for details.
Andy wrote and produced one of my all-time favorite pieces of radio — on the subject of Ramen Jiro in Tokyo — which aired on NPR’s All Things Considered on January 19, 2004.
Congrats, Andy!
